According to royalblog.nl, crown prince Alexander had an interview with 'Blic Plus'. In the interview he says that it pains him that the Netherlands is the only country that is blocking Serbia's entry to the European Union. The reason why the Dutch are blocking this is because they think that Serbia is not cooperating with the search of general Mladic, so he can be extradited & trialed by the Yugoslavia tribunal in the Hague.

The crown prince says that in his own way he tries to move other countries to put pressure on the Dutch to change their opinion.

Crown Prince Alexander has indeed talked about Serbia's EU membership. Here is his exact quote:

- I think that Serbia will make a few steps further by the end of the year; we are all doing our best. I am sorry that only one country is holding us back, Holland. It is a pity to prevent so many people to be members of the European Union. That hurts me. I am trying in my own way to convince other foreign countries to put pressure on Holland to change its mind. Other countries in the region must also enter the European Union that is how we will be strong again. If the whole region is stable, chances for better quality of life are greater. We must all be in the first class, as we are part of Europe.

And this is another extract from the same article: the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess has some really lovely things to say about each other, and it seemed spontaneous too.

- I am very proud of my husband and everyday I see how the Karadjordjevic dynasty was important for this country, how much they have done for it. My husband not only carries his grandfather’s name, but resembles him in many ways, especially in regard to Serbia and Serbian people. He is happiest when he sees progress in the country and lives for the day when Serbia will become a member of the European Union, being proud that Serbia is working very hard towards it and daily looking for solutions to help speed up the process. He is always wondering what more can we do for the country, and motivates me to work harder. He is so persistent that I need to excel next to him. Constantly talking and dreaming of better life, better Serbia, I honestly believe that he is a true gift for this country.

- Now you have touched me! Thank you – said the Crown Prince with unhidden emotions and gave his wife a hug.

- She also does many wonderful things for people.

- You gave me a chance to do it. People sometimes ask me what the most distinguished characteristics that my husband has are. You know that a monarchy is not what it used to be. It is not enough that he is King Peter’s son, but it is also important what he is like in private, and what he can contribute to his people. Alexander is just, respectful to all, has energy that brings people closer together, and always sees the good in people. Beside that, he has big credibility and integrity worldwide. I think that people are not aware how many contacts he has, among State Governments, State Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Kings! When we celebrated his 50th birthday, a wonderful ceremony at “Claridge’s” hotel in London, where he was also born, 400 invitees came to the party, out of which 100 from Royal families. All Kings and Queens in the world have come to my husband’s birthday, including Queen Elizabeth II, his Godmother. When Alexander was born, she was a Princess, and her father King George, was King Peter’s godfather. American Senators, as well as Presidents of major world corporations were also present. I believe that says enough about my husband’s reputation in the world.

It has been a long time (perhaps never) since we have heard such beautiful words spoken of one woman’s husband, even though she is a princess! Even the Prince agreed with us and spontaneously returned the compliments.

- Believe me, she is unbelievable. She is always focused, reminds me of things I need to do, she handles everything. I often tell her to slow down, rest, as she tends to wake up in the middle of the night to send someone an e-mail, make a phone call.
