Serbian Royal foundation raises money for students

Money was raised for Crown Prince Alexander’s Foundation for Education at a charity dinner at Belgrade’s White Palace on Friday. The evening was hosted by Serbia’s Crown Prince Alexander II and Crown Princess Katherine.

The royal Foundation enables promising students from Serbia to continue their education at prestigious academic institutions of the world, so that they will return to Serbia and apply their training for the benefit of the country. It is part of nationwide efforts aimed at supporting development of a stable, democratic and economically advanced society in Serbia.

My Foundation for Education has done much already, but we can do so much more. We want to create permanent scholarship endowments that will be funded year after year. We need your help, Alexander said in a speech at the dinner.
