HRH CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE

Belgrade 31 January 2008 I am not here to tell you who to vote for nor who is best. I want to say that I know our people are tired after so many manipulations, confusion, isolation and being very misunderstood over one thing and another.

The Serbian people are proud people and strong people, they are tired of sacrificing their only life in constantly waiting and hoping for a better future. The moment has come for the Serbian people to finally move ahead, enough is enough. Whoever is the winner in the elections I appeal to him to understand and to try to achieve for the Serbian people stability, jobs, prosperity, better social services and a peaceful family life. Our people definitely want no more political upheavals and isolation, they wish stability and recognition.

I appeal to all politicians to work for everyone regardless of religion or ethnic origin to provide all our future they truly deserve. There should be fewer political arguments, power struggles, more harmony and more in the interest of all the Serbian people to provide a clear stable future without confusion and for the sake of our investors too. Our people need jobs, a superlative health system, pensions and solid education for our youth who are our future

I appeal to the international community to work together with our government to positively help solve the Kosovo and Metohija situation in a fair way, constructive way and not through the unfair imposition of a solution. I fully support the help we have received form our Russian friends particularly President Putin whom has my admiration and deepest appreciation. Our people in Kosovo and Metohija must have guaranteed human rights and the pursuit of life with full security and jobs. I support the united efforts of our government.

I appeal to the international community not to ransom the future of the Serbian people.

Our future also depends upon dealing with all the issues of a modern state. The objective is to be a member of the European Union with participation in Europe and superlative relations with our Russian friends.

I will gladly give my support to whoever the Serbian people choose on Sunday in free and fair elections.
