Royal Family's Christmas Reception rejoice more than 1,000 children

TRH Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine hosted a traditional Christmas gathering for more than 1,000 children in need from Serbia and the Republic of Srpska at the home of the Royal family of Serbia, the White Palace in Belgrade.

Children without parental care, children with difficulties in intellectual development, and socially vulnerable children, aged one to fourteen, from homes and associations throughout Serbia and the Republic of Srpska, had the opportunity to rejoice Christmas together with Their Royal Highnesses and share the spirit of this beautiful Christian holiday. The receptions were supported and held in presence of His Grace Bishop Aleksej of Hvostan, Vicar of His Holiness Patriarch Porfirije of Serbia, as well as Minister of Family Welfare and Demography, HE Prof. Dr. Darija Kisić, and HRH Crown Princess Katherine's sister, Mrs. Betty Roumeliotis. The event was also attended by Jadranka Dervisevic Kitaric, BSCC Executive Director UK and Natasa Vidic, a representative of the Dutch Serbian Business Association.

This lovely initiative was supported by the BSCC and the Dutch-Serbian Business Association by organising a charity fundraiser titled 'Christmas Reception and Carols at the White Palace' on 21 December 2022. Together with our members and friends we managed to raise a substantial amount of funds to be donated to HRH Crown Princess Katherine Foundation. The reception was opened by Petar Orlic, BSCC Deputy Chair and Djordje Petrovic, DSBA Executive Director. Due to previously arranged obligations abroad, Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine could not attend the event, but Her Royal Highness's letter was read by Jadranka Dervisevic Kitaric, BSCC Executive Director UK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7TQPtU5MJ0
