Ita Rina

First and Forgotten Yugoslav Film Star who provocated Gestapo

Ita Rina was born on 7 July 1907 in the small town of Divača (then Austro-Hungarian Empire, later Yugoslavia, now Slovenia) as Italina Lida Kravanja. She was called Ida Kravanja for short. She was named after a journalist Finzi Haydée, Jewish family friend from Trieste. The first daughter of Jožef a railroad worker and Marija Kravanja, Rina had a younger sister Danica. Shortly after the outbreak of the World War I, the family moved to Ljubljana, where Rina matriculated in 1923. She was not a good student; she repeated the third grade of elementary school. However, her dream was to be an actress.

In October 1926, Slovenski narod (Slovenian People) magazine organized a beauty pageant, and Rina entered the competition. She was crowned Miss Slovenia and was to travel to the final event for Miss Yugoslavia, which was supposed to be held on 20 December 1926 in Zagreb. However, her mother did not want to let her go to Zagreb. After a group visit from the Slovenian delegation, Marija Kravanja relented. Unfortunately, when Rina arrived in Zagreb, the jury was already choosing the most beautiful of three finalists. She was, however, noticed by Adolf Müller, the owner of Balkan Palace cinema in Zagreb. He immediately sent her photographs to German film producer Peter Ostermayer. As her mother did not want to let her go to Berlin, Rina ran away from home.

Her escape was enabled by a family friend, a painter Alojz Malota and his wife Hedvig Šarc. They invited her to come with them on a trip to Austria, and instead she went to Berlin. She has said that she felt very lonely and scared during the train ride and thought about returning home.

“That was my longest and hardest journey. I huddled myself in a corner of a coupe and looked around myself in fear. I only knew few words in German...”

Rina arrived in Berlin in 1927. Shortly after she had her first audition, following which she had classes in acting, diction, dancing.

"They would shine a spotlight on me" she later said "cameras would buzz. There were cables everywhere. Some complete strangers would stare at me, whispering amongst themselves. They told me to scream, to laugh, wave and cry. I think I looked most natural in scenes where I was crying. All I had to do was remember how far away from home I've gone and how I've deceived my mother."

"You don't know how to walk!" a director was yelling. I've dedicated all my strength on walking as gracefully as possible, and I thought to myself "how's it possible that I, who have climbed Triglav thrice, all of sudden am incapable of walking." I must admit, first few steps on film were harder than any danger definitely mountaineering.

After several small film roles in 1927 and 1928, the critics finally noticed her in the 1928 film The Last Supper. The same year, Rina met at a Yugoslav embassy party, her future husband Miodrag Đorđević, a shy engineering student from Belgrade, son of a general director of the Royal Post Office.

He asked her out to dinner in a little more upscale restaurant. What he would find out later is that his students account was not enough to pay for the meal. He went to the phone in an attempted to call a friend who could lend him money. Ita figured out what was going on, and since she was already rich, secretly passed him a few bank notes, to spare him the embarrassment. She always liked him, and they understood each other well.

Around that time newspapers in Yugoslavia started to sensationalize her love life, as a counter she published an open letter.

Cenjeni g. urednik!

Vsikdar sem bila ljubeznjiva napram g. dopisniku Vašega lista. Želela sem na ta način izražati simpatije, ki sem jih gojila do “Vremena”. Toda nežentlementski dopis Vašega dopisnika od 15. t. m. je zlorabil to mojo ljubeznivost in me prisilil, da Vas naprošam zaradi istine za uvrstitev naslednjih vrstic: Prišla sem domov na oddih, da se pripravim za bodoče delo, ne pa da se zaljubljam kakor goska. Zaradi tega ne potrebujem nikakih senzacij, zlasti pa ne senzacij, ki gredo preko meja dopustnega. Čudim se prostosti, ki si jo jemlje g. Ambrož, da izmišlja kar imena mojih idealov. Prava senzacija bi bila šele, ko bi g. Ambrož nekoliko srečneje uganil moje ideale. Kar pa piše g. Ambrož, je bilo doslej meni in vsem mojim znancem docela neznano. Odpotovala bom tedaj, ko me pokliče novo delo. Senzacijonalni odhod avtomobilov itd. je prosta glupost.

Da končam. Žal mi je, da se je edini g. O. Ambrož smatral za najpametnejšega od vseh tukajšnjih novinarjev in da je segel po tako nehvaležnem poslu. Naši javnosti je treba servirati resnico o mojem delu in moji osebi, ne pa glupih izmišljotin. Prejmite g. urednik izraze itd.

Ita Rina.

Her breakthrough into European stardom came after taking a role in a controversial film Erotikon by a Czechoslovakian director Gustav Mahaty. As soon as she read the script about a seduced and then abandoned daughter of a guard of a railroad station, she understood it as her big chance, and she was right.

Erotikon premiered in Prague. Czechoslovakian censors cut out the scene of her giving birth to a child, but the movie garnered great success with film critics and audiences across Europe. At the premiere in Paris in Moulin Rouge and the film goers carried her out of the theatre on their hands.

The films success angered the puritans. Especially the french catholic theologian, abbot Betteleme who wrote: "... First, they lie next to each other, and then one to another ... It is true that the cover hides their figures, but it certainly does not hide their movements... The protagonists are shown in particularly long shots, especially Ita... A viewer can recognize her excitement, then her expression of anxiety mixed with longing, then the pain and at the end... I blush while describing the scenes". He went though streets of Paris tearing down the posters that were plastered all over. That only raised the popularity of the film.

In 1930, Rina acted in three films, most notable being the first talking Czechoslovakian film Tonka of the Gallows, which is often named her best role. Meanwhile, she married Miodrag Đorđević in 1931. Although she had announced her retirement from her film career, but she actually continued her acting until the outbreak of World War II. Her last prewar film was crime drama Zentrale Rio.

The situation in Germany was getting tense, especially for anybody who was considered undesirable which included actors who were foreign. She left Germany on the insistence of the then ambassador of Yugoslavia Ivo Andrić. In 1939, very close to the start of WW2 every time she went to work or went home, there was a man who sat in the car. In the beginning he was very quiet and she thought he was an assistant of the producer and that he might represent some new custume, a way of saying thanks to the actors. And then he spoke. At first there were talks of the superiority of the German race, but later his changes because more apparent. "I argued with him in that car" she told to the operator in the studio and retold him the whole conversation. "How could you have dared, that man is from Gestapo." said the operator. The story was retold to Ivo Andrić, and he ordered her and her husband to urgently leave Germany. The taping of the film was mostly done. That night they packed all of their belongs. In the morning she taped a few leftover scenes and absconded for Belgrade that same day.

"Only on the road I understood what's going on. Tanks everywhere, soldiers."

They went to live in Belgrade. She didn't act as the war was starting to rage and had her first child Milan in 1940 and thee years later a daughter Tijana. Her in-laws disagreed with the marriage to a controversial actress at first. And they had a permanent table for themselves and their friends at the local tavern.

After the bombing of Belgrade they moved to Vrnjačka Banja. Life during wartime was hard and she laboured and sold all of her possessions to keep family fed. She even rescued her husband from jail where he landed after he, in a tavern proclaimed that Hitler will have the same fate Napoleon did in Russia.

They moved back to Belgrade after the end of World War II in 1945. Although she was promised several roles in Yugoslav films, all projects were cancelled and she was treated unfavorably. After receipt of a letter she had written to President Tito, Rina began working as a co–production advisor in Avala Film. But she soon left Avala Film and moved to Lovćen Film.

She returned to the silver screen once, in the 1960 film War, about nuclear war fallout, directed by Veljko Bulajić. This was her last role. She got her role not though a studio, but through her husband asking nicely.

“Before the shooting of the film War began, I was approached by a very likable gentleman, that was the husband of Mrs. Ita Rine Miodrag, and in a very discreet, shy way, asked if we can talk and during that conversation, suggested to cast Ita. Honestly speaking, I have already completely forgotten about her. There was war, and they she didn't work for a very long time. She wasn't listed anywhere in cinematography as an active actress. I remembered her from her films. I suggested we meet. So we met, I don't know where in Zagreb or Belgrade, I cannot remember, but she impressed me. She made a strong impression, of a smart woman, an actress who didn't want to be in a film for no other reason, but to be filmed. She wanted to know about her role. I really liked that, so we made a deal.”

As she suffered from asthma, Rina and her husband moved to Budva (then Yugoslavia, now Montenegro) in 1967. There, she took care of her husband, who was ill with sclerosis. Rina died on 10 May 1979 from an asthmatic attack during the great earthquake that leveled the capital of Montenegro. She was buried a few days later in Belgrade, in the presence of numerous film artists, admirers, friends and family. Her husband died next year.

There isn’t going to be royal visit to the balkans because the majority of people have no interest in seeing anyone from the UK because the UK are NATO war crime clowns that bombed and murdered civilians

^ the NATO bombings were due to the Yugoslav Wars where the bombings in Serbia were due to their war crimes against Bosniaks, Albanians and Croats among others during the 1990s. The NATO intervention was a last resort against the relentless ethnic cleansing of Albanians in Kosovo by Serbian Yugoslavs and the ethnic cleansing of Bosniaks in Bosnia-Herzegovina by Republika Sprska, and to stop the institutions & factories that were helping to support and sustain the Serbian Yugoslav armies in their crimes, and to stop the spread of propaganda by the Serbian Yugoslavs against those they viewed as enemies, and was to help UN Forces in the areas as well.

I happen to be half Serb and half Croat, my parents fled separately from Bosnia in the early 1990s to London where they eventually met, and I have a personal experience of the wars having lost family on both sides, and have been brought up to see that the NATO bombings were the right thing to do in order to stop further genocides and continuing conflict.

Also Prince Philip visited Belgrade for the funeral of Josip Broz Tito.

Thank you. I did not mean to cause any pain by posting the earlier anon's comment.

The position and role of the Royal Families of the Balkan States in their states TodayPart 2 SerbiaIn the first Collage is the Serbian flag TODAY with the Royal Coat of arms on itAlexander first came to Yugoslavia in 1991. He actively worked with the opposition to Slobodan Milošević and moved to Yugoslavia after Milošević had been deposed in 2000.On 27 February 2001,the parliament of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) passed legislation conferring citizenship on members of the Karađorđević family. The legislation may also have effectively annulled a decree stripping the family of its citizenship of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) in 1947.The annulment was the topic of some debate. Notably, the FRY was not the successor of the SFRY; rather the FRY was a new state (and was admitted to the United Nations as a new state on that basis). Therefore, the jurisdiction of a new state to annul an action of a different former state was questioned. In effect, the Karađorđević family had FRY citizenship conferred upon them, not "restored" as such.The FRY legislation also addresses restoration of property to the Karađorđević family. In March 2001, the property seized from his family, including royal palaces, was returned for residential purposes with property ownership to be decided by parliament at some later date.He has lived since 17 July 2001 in the Royal Palace (Kraljevski Dvor) in Dedinje, an exclusive area of Belgrade. The Palace, which was completed in 1929, is one of two royal residences in the Royal Compound; the other is the White Palace, which was completed in 1936.Belief in constitutional monarchyAlexander is a proponent of re-creating a constitutional monarchy in Serbia and sees himself as the rightful king. He believes that monarchy could give Serbia "stability, continuity and unity".A number of political parties and organizations support a constitutional parliamentary monarchy in Serbia. The Serbian Orthodox Church has openly supported the restoration of the monarchy.The assassinated former Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić was often seen in the company of the prince and his family, supporting their campaigns and projects, although his Democratic Party never publicly embraced monarchy.Crown Prince Alexander has vowed to stay out of politics. He and Princess Katherine spend considerable time engaging in humanitarian work.The Crown Prince has, however, increasingly participated in public functions alongside the leaders of Serbia, the former Yugoslav republics and members of the diplomatic corps. On 11 May 2006, he hosted a reception at the Royal Palace for delegates attending a summit on Serbia and Montenegro. The reception was attended by the Governor of the National Bank of Serbia, as well as ambassadors and diplomats from Slovenia, Poland, Brazil, Japan, United States, and Austria. He later delivered a keynote speech in front of prime ministers Vojislav Koštunica and Milo Đukanović. In the speech he spoke of prospective Serbian membership of the European Union. He told delegates.

In addition, we in Serbia and Montenegro must take into account that whatever form we take within the European Union, we have only but one choice and that is to work for the common good of all member nations. It is also central to take into account that stability in our region will be enhanced when Serbia is fully at peace with itself.Following Montenegro's successful independence referendum on 21 May 2006, the re-creation of the Serbian monarchy found its way into daily political debate. A monarchist proposal for the new Serbian constitution has been published alongside other proposals. The document approved in October 2006 is a republican one. The Serbian people have not had a chance to vote on the system of government.The Crown Prince raised the issue of a royal restoration in the immediate aftermath of the vote. In a press release issued on 24 May 2006 he stated.It has been officially confirmed that the people of Montenegro voted for independence. I am sad, but I wish our Montenegrin brothers peace, democracy and happiness. The people of Montenegro are our brothers and sisters no matter what if we live in one or in two countries, that is how it was and that is how it will be forever.I strongly believe in a Constitutional Parliamentary Kingdom of Serbia. Again, we need to be proud, a strong Serbia that is at peace with itself and with its neighbors. We were a proud, respected and happy country in the days of my great grandfather King Peter I. So, we can do it! Only if we have a form of governance close to the Serbian soul: the Kingdom of Serbia.Simply, the King is above daily politics, he is the guardian of national unity, political stability and continuity of the state. In Constitutional Parliamentary Monarchies the King is the protector of public interest: there is no personal or party interest. What is most important is the interest of Serbia.I am ready to meet all our politicians; we have to work together for the common good of Serbia, and to be friends in the name of the future of our country. I appeal for the end of the continuous political wrangling, division and arguments. I appeal for mature democratic debate in the interest of Serbia. Serbia must have clear and realistic objectives.In 2011 an online open access poll by Serbian middle-market tabloid newspaper Blic showed that 64% of Serbians support restoring the monarchy.Another poll in May 2013 had 39% of Serbians supporting the monarchy, with 32% against it. The public also had reservations with Alexander's apparent lack of knowledge of the Serbian language.On 27 July 2015, newspaper Blic published a poll "Da li Srbija treba da bude monarhija?" ("Should Serbia be a monarchy?"); 49.8% respondents expressed support in a reconstitution of monarchy, 44.6% were opposed and 5.5% were indifferent.On 16 December 2017, Alexander attended with his wife the state funeral of his first cousin once removed, King Michael of Romania in Bucharest, along with other heads of European royal families and invited guests. UNVEILING OF THE MONUMENT OF QUEEN MARIA IN INDJIJA09/11/2021 On the Day of the Liberation of Indjija in World War One, a monument of HM Queen Maria was unveiled in the park that carries the name of the beloved queen. Mr. Predrag Markovic, Member of the Crown Council, attended the event as an envoy of HRH Crown Prince Alexander and reаd His Highness’ letter.30–11–2021The Belgrade City Council has decided to rename Strosmaer Street in Zemun to Prince Peter Street (regent of Yugoslavia, married to Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark, daughter of Prince Nikolaos and Princess Elena Vladimirovna)

Η θέση και ο ρολος των Βασιλικών Οικογενειών των Βαλκανικών Κρατών στα κράτη τους Σήμερα Μέρος 2ο Σερβία Στο πρώτο Κολάζ βλέπετε την Σερβική σημαία ΣΗΜΕΡΑ με το Βασιλικό Εθνόσημο στην μέση Ο Αλέξανδρος ήρθε για πρώτη φορά στη Γιουγκοσλαβία το 1991. Εργάστηκε ενεργά με την αντιπολίτευση του Slobodan Milošević και μετακόμισε στη Γιουγκοσλαβία μετά την καθαίρεση του Milošević το 2000.Στις 27 Φεβρουαρίου 2001, το κοινοβούλιο της Ομοσπονδιακής Δημοκρατίας της Γιουγκοσλαβίας (ΟΔΓ) ψήφισε νομοθεσία που απονέμει την ιθαγένεια στα μέλη της οικογένειας Karađorđević. Η νομοθεσία μπορεί επίσης να έχει ουσιαστικά ακυρώσει ένα διάταγμα που αφαιρεί την ιθαγένεια της οικογένειας της Σοσιαλιστικής Ομοσπονδιακής Δημοκρατίας της Γιουγκοσλαβίας (SFRY) το 1947.Η ακύρωση ήταν θέμα συζήτησης. Συγκεκριμένα, η ΟΔΓ δεν ήταν ο διάδοχος της ΣΟΔΓ. μάλλον η ΟΔΓ ήταν ένα νέο κράτος (και έγινε δεκτό στα Ηνωμένα Έθνη ως ν��ο κράτος σε αυτή τη βάση). Ως εκ τούτου, αμφισβητήθηκε η δικαιοδοσία ενός νέου κράτους να ακυρώσει μια αγωγή άλλου πρώην κράτους. Στην πραγματικότητα, η οικογένεια Karađorđević είχε την υπηκοότητα της Ομοσπονδιακής Δημοκρατίας της Γιουγκοσλαβικής Δημοκρατίας της Γιουγκοσλαβίας, που δεν την «αποκατέστησε» ως τέτοια.Η νομοθεσία της ΟΔΓ αφορά επίσης την αποκατάσταση περιουσίας στην οικογένεια Karađorđević. Τον Μάρτιο του 2001, το ακίνητο που κατασχέθηκε από την οικογένειά του, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των βασιλικών ανακτόρων, επιστράφηκε για λόγους κατοικίας με ιδιοκτησία ιδιοκτησίας που θα αποφασιστεί από το κοινοβούλιο κάποια στιγμή αργότερα.Ζει από τις 17 Ιουλίου 2001 στο Βασιλικό Παλάτι (Kraljevski Dvor) στο Dedinje, μια αποκλειστική περιοχή του Βελιγραδίου. Το Παλάτι, το οποίο ολοκληρώθηκε το 1929, είναι μία από τις δύο βασιλικές κατοικίες στο Βασιλικό Σύμπλεγμα. το άλλο είναι το Λευκό Παλάτι, το οποίο ολοκληρώθηκε το 1936.Η πίστη στη συνταγματική μοναρχίαΟ Αλέξανδρος είναι υπέρμαχος της εκ νέου δημιουργίας μιας συνταγματικής μοναρχίας στη Σερβία και θεωρεί τον εαυτό του ως τον νόμιμο βασιλιά. Πιστεύει ότι η μοναρχία θα μπορούσε να δώσει στη Σερβία "σταθερότητα, συνέχεια και ενότητα".Ορισμένα πολιτικά κόμματα και οργανώσεις υποστηρίζουν μια συνταγματική κοινοβουλευτική μοναρχία στη Σερβία. Η Σερβική Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία έχει υποστηρίξει ανοιχτά την αποκατάσταση της μοναρχίας. Ο δολοφονημένος πρώην Πρωθυπουργός της Σερβίας Zoran Đinđić εθεάθη συχνά στην παρέα του πρίγκιπα και της οικογένειάς του, υποστηρίζοντας τις εκστρατείες και τα σχέδιά τους, αν και το Δημοκρατικό Κόμμα του δεν ασπάστηκε ποτέ δημόσια τη μοναρχία.Ο διάδοχος Αλέξανδρος έχει ορκιστεί να μείνει μακριά από την πολιτική. Αυτός και η πριγκίπισσα Κάθριν περνούν αρκετό χρόνο συμμετέχοντας σε ανθρωπιστικό έργο.Ο διάδοχος, ωστόσο, συμμετείχε όλο και περισσότερο σε δημόσιες λειτουργίες δίπλα στους ηγέτες της Σερβίας, των πρώην γιουγκοσλαβικών δημοκρατιών και των μελών του διπλωματικού σώματος. Στις 11 Μαΐου 2006, παρέθεσε δεξίωση στο Βασιλικό Παλάτι για τους αντιπροσώπους που συμμετείχαν σε μια σύνοδο κορυφής για τη Σερβία και το Μαυροβούνιο. Στη δεξίωση παρευρέθηκαν ο Διοικητής της Εθνικής Τράπεζας της Σερβίας, καθώς και πρεσβευτές και διπλωμάτες από τη Σλοβενία, την Πολωνία, τη Βραζιλία, την Ιαπωνία, τις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες και την Αυστρία. Αργότερα εκφώνησε μια κεντρική ομιλία ενώπιον των πρωθυπουργών Vojislav Koštunica και Milo Đukanovic. Στην ομιλία έκανε λόγο για προοπτική ένταξη της Σερβίας στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση. Είπε στους αντιπροσώπους.

Επιπλέον, εμείς στη Σερβία και το Μαυροβούνιο πρέπει να λάβουμε υπόψη ότι όποια μορφή κι αν λάβουμε εντός της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, έχουμε μόνο μία επιλογή και αυτή είναι να εργαστούμε για το κοινό καλό όλων των εθνών-μελών. Είναι επίσης σημαντικό να ληφθεί υπόψη ότι η σταθερότητα στην περιοχή μας θα ενισχυθεί όταν η Σερβία είναι πλήρως σε ειρήνη με τον εαυτό της.Μετά το επιτυχημένο δημοψήφισμα για την ανεξαρτησία του Μαυροβουνίου στις 21 Μαΐου 2006, η επαναδημιουργία της σερβικής μοναρχίας βρήκε τον δρόμο της στον καθημερινό πολιτικό διάλογο. Μια μοναρχική πρόταση για το νέο σερβικό σύνταγμα έχει δημοσιευτεί μαζί με άλλες προτάσεις. Το έγγραφο που εγκρίθηκε τον Οκτώβριο του 2006 είναι δημοκρατικό. Ο σερβικός λαός δεν είχε την ευκαιρία να ψηφίσει για το σύστημα διακυβέρνησης.Ο διάδοχος έθεσε το ζήτημα της βασιλικής αποκατάστασης αμέσως μετά την ψηφοφορία. Σε δελτίο τύπου που εκδόθηκε στις 24 Μαΐου 2006 δήλωσε.Επιβεβαιώθηκε επίσημα ότι ο λαός του Μαυροβουνίου ψήφισε υπέρ της ανεξαρτησίας. Είμαι λυπημένος, αλλά εύχομαι στους Μαυροβούνιους αδελφούς μας ειρήνη, δημοκρατία και ευτυχία. Οι άνθρωποι του Μαυροβουνίου είναι αδέλφια και αδερφές μας, ανεξάρτητα από το εάν ζούμε σε μία ή σε δύο χώρες, έτσι ήταν και έτσι θα είναι για πάντα.Πιστεύω ακράδαντα σε ένα Συνταγματικό Κοινοβουλευτικό Βασίλειο της Σερβίας. Και πάλι, πρέπει να είμαστε περήφανοι, μια ισχυρή Σερβία που είναι σε ειρήνη με τον εαυτό της και με τους γείτονές της. Ήμασταν μια περήφανη, σεβαστή και χαρούμενη χώρα την εποχή του προπάππου μου, Βασιλιά Πέτρου Α. Άρα, μπορούμε να τα καταφέρουμε! Μόνο αν έχουμε μια μορφή διακυβέρνησης κοντά στη σερβική ψυχή: το Βασίλειο της Σερβίας.Απλώς, ο Βασιλιάς είναι πάνω από την καθημερινή πολιτική, είναι ο θεματοφύλακας της εθνικής ενότητας, της πολιτικής σταθερότητας και της συνέχειας του κράτους. Στις Συνταγματικές Κοινοβουλευτικές Μοναρχίες ο Βασιλιάς είναι ο προστάτης του δημόσιου συμφέροντος: δεν υπάρχει προσωπικό ή κομματικό συμφέρον. Το πιο σημαντικό είναι το συμφέρον της Σερβίας.Είμαι έτοιμος να συναντήσω όλους τους πολιτικούς μας. πρέπει να εργαστούμε μαζί για το κοινό καλό της Σερβίας και να είμαστε φίλοι στο όνομα του μέλλοντος της χώρας μας. Κάνω έκκληση για τον τερματισμό της συνεχούς πολιτικής διαμάχης, διχασμού και επιχειρημάτων. Κάνω έκκληση για ώριμο δημοκρατικό διάλογο προς το συμφέρον της Σερβίας. Η Σερβία πρέπει να έχει σαφείς και ρεαλιστικούς στόχους.Το 2011 μια διαδικτυακή δημοσκόπηση ανοιχτής πρόσβασης από τη σερβική ταμπλόιντ εφημερίδα μεσαίας αγοράς Blic έδειξε ότι το 64% των Σέρβων υποστηρίζει την αποκατάσταση της μοναρχίας. Μια άλλη δημοσκόπηση τον Μάιο του 2013 είχε το 39% των Σέρβων να υποστηρίζουν τη μοναρχία, ενώ το 32% είναι εναντίον της. Το κοινό είχε επίσης επιφυλάξεις για την προφανή έλλειψη γνώσης της σερβικής γλώσσας από τον Αλέξανδρο.Στις 27 Ιουλίου 2015, η εφημερίδα Blic δημοσίευσε μια δημοσκόπηση "Da li Srbija treba da bude monarhija?" («Θα έπρεπε η Σερβία να είναι μοναρχία;»); Το 49,8% των ερωτηθέντων εξέφρασε την υποστήριξή του σε μια ανασύσταση της μοναρχίας, το 44,6% ήταν αντίθετο και το 5,5% ήταν αδιάφορο.Στις 16 Δεκεμβρίου 2017, ο Αλέξανδρος παρευρέθηκε με τη σύζυγό του στην κρατική κηδεία του πρώτου του ξαδέλφου που μόλις απομακρύνθηκε, του βασιλιά Μιχαήλ της Ρουμανίας στο Βουκουρέστι, μαζί με άλλους αρχηγούς ευρωπαϊκών βασιλικών οικογενειών και προσκεκλημένους.ΑΠΟΚΑΛΥΨΗ ΤΟΥ ΜΝΗΜΕΙΟΥ ΤΗΣ ΒΑΣΙΛΙΣΣΑΣ ΜΑΡΙΑΣ ΣΤΗΝ ΙΝΤΖΙΑ 09/11/2021 Την Ημέρα της Απελευθέρωσης της Indjija στον Πρώτο Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο, ένα μνημείο της HM Queen Maria αποκαλύφθηκαν στο πάρκο που φέρει το όνομα της αγαπημένης βασίλισσας. Ο κ. Πρέντραγκ Μάρκοβιτς, Μέλος του Συμβουλίου του Στέμματος, παρευρέθηκε στην εκδήλωση ως απεσταλμένος του Ύπατου Διαδόχου Πρίγκιπα Αλέξανδρου και διάβασε την επιστολή της Αυτού Υψηλότητας.30–11–2021Το δημοτικό συμβούλιο του Βελιγραδιου αποφάσισε την μετονομασία της οδού Strosmaer στο Zemun σε οδό Πρίγκιπα Πέτρου (αντιβασιλέας της Γιουγκοσλαβίας σύζυγος της Πριγκίπισσας Ολγας της Ελλάδας και Δανίας κόρη του Πρίγκιπα Νικόλαου και Πριγκίπισσας Ελένης Βλαδιμιροβνα )

Belgian article about Luka

In the absence of Ramos and co, Real counts more than ever on virtuoso Modric: "He is still the compass on which Real Madrid sails"

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE What is Real Madrid? That is very simplistically put, a football team that lives and dies in 2021 with their 35-year-old number 10, Luka Modric. What will it be at Anfield?

Real Madrid at Anfield: without Sergio Ramos, Varane, Carvajal, Hazard, and Lucas Vázquez.

Liverpool miss Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Matip, Henderson and The Kop.

It's the lame against the blind. The lame won the first leg 3-1. The return leg is “in a real stadium”, said Jürgen Klopp.

It is truly a football miracle that Real Madrid does not take any damage for the time being without its central duo Ramos & Varane. There was a time - not so long ago - when Sergio Ramos' failure was tantamount to defeat for "The Royal."

Since this weekend, Zinedine Zidane also has to manage without his plan A (Carvajal) and plan B (Vázquez) in the position of right back.

Conquer Liverpool and Barcelona twice with a three-quarters finished defense? It would be punishment.

Liverpool have Sadio Mane, Mo Salah, and Firmino to make up for the loss of quality. Real Madrid still owns "El Muro", Benzema, the speed of Vinicius, and ...

Luka Modric.

Who is currently the best 35-year-old footballer in international football? Zlatan? Cristiano?

Or Luka Madrid? On September 9, he turns 36. According to Spanish media, Real Madrid and Modric have reached an agreement for another contract year at 21.7 million euros (- Modric confirmed at the UEFA press conference last night).

Adam Lallana, who lost the Champions League final against Real Madrid with Liverpool in 2018, said in an interview about that evening yesterday: "I didn't dare come close to Modric; I felt like a rabbit in full light ".

Modric was born in 1985 in Zadar, a port city on the Adriatic Sea. In the fall of 1991, Zadar was the scene of one of the very first skirmishes in the Yugoslav war.

As a little boy, Modric was mostly raised by his grandfather in Modrici, 28 miles outside of Zadar - Modric's parents both worked in a clothing factory during the day.

However, in September 1991, Modric's grandfather, along with a group of his friends, was gunned down in the street by Serbian rebels who chased Croats out of Zadar.

Liverpool can still take out "The Royal". But then the Reds must be able to set the pace. Because once Modric can control the rhythm of his dance himself, all commentators can drop their microphones. Then it's over

The Modric family fled and lived in a hotel miles away for years. “I learned to play football in the parking lot of the hotel,” Modric said later.

Luka Modric is a somewhat atypical "Balkan boy". He does not profile himself. The war in Yugoslavia made one outgoing and social, the other introverted and withdrawn. Modric belongs to the second category.

Luka Modric is what Andres Iniesta was at Barcelona at the time, but just that little bit more eye-catching. It's in the outside on the right, probably.

Rather, Modric is "The Cruyff of the Balkans".

Authors Vicente Azpitarte and Jose Manuel Puertas describe in Modric's biography how he got this nickname.

Modric made his debut in the Croatian national team on March 1, 2006 against Argentina. After that match, a fan gave Modric a shirt, an orange shirt, with number 14. A shirt of the Dutch national team, one like Cruijff wore at the 1974 World Cup.

Anyone who sees Modric playing football involuntarily thinks of Johan Cruijff. The same flapping mane. That fabulous technique and that exceptional insight. Always available, always with an eye for the best solution, even though it sometimes looks simple.

And their exterior, of course.

"It's crazy how Johan Cruijff now lives on in the virtuoso of ... Real Madrid.

At the end of March, Luka Modric became a record international for Croatia. 135 caps (136, now). His teammates honored their captain with a compilation video and a standing ovation. Modric broke. Tears rolled down his cheeks.

Won the Champions League four times. Vice World Champion. Balloon d'Or 2018.

Thibaut Courtois once described Modric in an interview with the English Sky Sports as: "The best".

He is still the compass on which Real Madrid is sailing tonight.

Liverpool can still take out "The Royal". But then the Reds must soon be able to determine the pace at Anfield. It's the only way to keep Luka Modric out of the game. Because once Modric can control the rhythm of his dance himself, all commentators can drop their microphones. Then it's over.

Real Madrid, that is: live and die with Modric.

Johan Cruijff first played at Anfield in December 66 with Ajax.

It is almost 55 years back - in mind and body of Luka Modric.

Top football player. But don't forget toni Kroos walking in the shade of modric.

Put a camera on Modric throughout the game and everyone will see what an artist he is.

Wonderful football player. A living legend for his country and Real Madrid
