RE: The man who does not want to be king [excerpts]


For my part, I no longer understand anything in the Princely Household! On 10 July, an apparent supporter of HE Mr Gvozdenovic Kennedy, "David", wrote on the Royals Portal Forum "Some of Royal Family’s property has already been returned to the Crown Prince". On 12 July and after, His Royal Highness states the contrary in interviews. He says having no ambition apart to live over there in the properties of his ancestors, and on 26 July, a friend of the Prince from London reports he wants to "replicate the millionaires’ paradise of Monaco" in Montenegro. All that as if there were no connexion between the Prince and his Household, both working towards different (and opposite) interests. It is very strange from the point of view of the external observer....
Splendid site in addition, and very informative. Keep it up!

RE: Bettina


but never makes reference to its High Officers...
Perhaps because a noble man who express some compassion for the victims of Milosevic regime in his articles and who defends human rights, has a little bit of difficulties to associate himself publicly in european press with a guy who is well known over there to have been the London top champion of Milosevic/Karadzic propaganda in the 1990’s!!!!!

RE: Bettina


Yes, Bettina, I have also noted this apparent lack of common interests! It’s particularly obvious in the articles where Prince Nicolaus speaks about the order of Danilo. He always describes it as his family heritage, that he wants to revive it, but never makes reference to its High Officers, never promotes their activities, nor the Foundation of the Order of Danilo I....
As I speak a bit French, I regularly visit the Courrier des Balkans, the association presided in France by the Prince and where he seems extremely active, but even there nowhere reference is made to the Foundation which is supposed to support his humanitarian projects in Montenegro...
Since the beginning, it has always astonished me, in comparison with the energy the Prince spent ten years ago to promote his other associations, IZBOR and SOLIDARITE EUROPE MONTENEGRO, or nowadays the COURRIER.... Very strange indeed, Bettina!
Beautiful website! Keep up the excellent work Mr Leroy!
Sincerely,
Jochen

RE: The man who does not want to be king [excerpts]


Visiting your website a few minutes ago, I read ’CAN CATHERINE ZETA-JONES RESCUE A WHOLE COUNTRY?’... With such a London ’friend’ who has so little respect for the prince at the point not to hesitate to misrepresent his thought just to save his own profitable business in the United Kingdom, I am not astonished that our prince has no desire to become king!!!!! Really pathetic!
Can someone with a minimum of good sense really believe that our prince, honest man, ecologist, notorious humanist, notorious defender of the human rights, notorious promoter of our culture abroad, who fought from France for our independence........then can someone imagine without laughing our prince saying: ’Oh yes Catherine, I want to replicate the millionaires’ paradise of Monaco in Montenegro! And if Montenegrins have to live in border countries, as the true monegasques, because the cost of living becomes too high in their country, if our centuries-old heritage is in the hands of private foreign owners, if our coastline is concreted from the north to the south..., yes Catherine, these are my plans for Montenegro!’ The anonymous ;) London ’friend’ really takes us all for fools!!!! We have bruised this prince full with juvenile hope, this noble family, we deserve what now occurs.
Yes Abdallah, what a sadness!!!!!

RE: The man who does not want to be king [excerpts]


What a mess!!!!! On one side, Great Officers of the Royal Household, and those who recommend themselves of them, are promoting Montenegro as the ’Next Monaco’, and on the other side His Royal Highness says repeatably in all his interviews he has no monarchical ambition! Not really easy to understand.........

RE: Abdallah


Dear Sir,
Prince Nicolas in this article says only not to have political ambitions in Montenegro, like in a previous interview to the French weekly “Marianne” dated May 27: “Be reassured, I will not stand as candidate at the [general] elections!” (sic).
Regarding the monarchical question, the position of the Prince expressed on January 11 in the French magazine “Point de Vue: King? Why not?”, is as follows: “If tomorrow Montenegrins need the historical and patrimonial symbol I represent, I would not have the right to refuse it to them. [...] Still would it be necessary that there is a consensus, because I could not accept that the name of Pétrovich-Niégosh be an additional subject of discord.” (sic) What can be interpreted as: The Prince does not seek actively the restoration of monarchy in Montenegro, but if a general consensus arisen one day in the population, he would not say no; in other words, if a restoration must occur, Prince Nicolas wishes that it be based on a frank popular will, and not on an only political decision.
Best regards,
Pierre Olivier Leroy

Re: Abdallah


Probably because the projects are not the same...the Man of Honor, who is our Great Prince, is ambitious for the memory of his Dynasty, for Montenegro and its civil society.....the others [omitted].
Prince Nikola’s projects for Montenegro must be supported unreservedly, but supported directly at his location in Paris, without intermediary by London or anywhere else!

Dear Jelena,
Omitted parts of your comment were too general, and could have been misinterpreted!
