Political power of Serbian royal family

    Q: You have a royal house (Prince by title, correct me if I am wrong) Is he able to play a role in trying to get this problem resolved for you serbs?

    Yes, we do have royal family, representative of Karadjordjevic royal family is Prince Alexandar III who is son of Serbian last king Peter who had to leave Serbia after WWII becouse comunist declared Republic instead of Kingdom. Prince Alexandar was born in London, he spent all his life in Paris and that's why he don't have any influence on Serbian population and he is uncapable to take a part in resolving Kosovo problem.

    Q: What to the serbian people feel about having an active monarchy?

    Generally most of serbian population are against monarchy as a political system in our country. There is just one pro-monarhistic party (Serbian Renewal Movement, leader of this party is Vuk Draskovic) in serbian parliament and on last elections they get about 20% votes.
