YUGOSLAV CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER KARADJORDJEVIC RECEIVES DECREE ALOWING
FAMILY TO USE FORMER PALACES IN BELGRADE.


Yugoslav Crown Prince Alexander Karadjordjevic (L) receives a
government decree from outgoing Yugoslav Prime Minister Zoran Zizic (R)
allowing his family to use two former royal palaces in Belgrade July
17, 2001. Born in London in 1945, Alexander is the son of Yugoslavia's
last king, Petar II, who fled after Nazi Germany overran the country in
1941. He visited Belgrade for the first time in 1991. Last February,
Yugoslavia's new reformist rulers scrapped a communist decree which
stripped the royal family of citizenship and property rights, saying
they wanted to rectify a historic injustice.
