Serbs Are Turning New Pages, Crown Prince Alexander Says
Despite the obvious trappings of privilege and heritage, Serbia’s historic Karađorđević family is not unlike many others who have to find their way in a modern world that dictates that children travel, study and marry beyond their usual borders. In that way, at least, Serbia’s Royal Family is like many others, with footholds in Belgrade, Britain and the United States.
While his son’s remain unmarried, Crown Prince Alexander II has seen them travel widely to establish successful lives and businesses. Eldest son Prince Peter lives and works as a graphic designer in Chicago, while Prince Philip works in the London financial world and his twin brother Alexander is in internet publishing in California.
“We are a very close family and the boys come here to the Palace often,’ he said. “But, with such a big family, it falls on me to ensure that the family remains together.”

The Hague Says Netherlands ‘Responsible’ For Three Srebrenica Deaths
The Dutch state was responsible for the deaths of three Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica, in July 1995, according to the shock ruling by a court in the Netherlands. Overturning a 2008 ruling rejecting responsibility, judges in this unexpected judgement ordered the Dutch Government to pay compensation in the case brought by the dead men’s relatives.
“The State of the Netherlands is responsible for the death of three Muslim men after the fall of Srebrenica”, the court said in a statement. The Dutch “should not have turned these men over to the Serbs,” the court said in its ruling.
Dutch troops (Dutchbat) were in charge of the UN safe area in Srebrenica when Bosnian Serb forces moved in – unimpeded by the lightly-armed Dutch UN Peacekeepers – and removed up to 8,000 men and boys. The UN has declared their subsequent murder acts of genocide.
