It´s curious this picture, a hundred years ago Austria-Hungria declared war on Serbia and World War I began, now here they are, the greatgrandson of Peter of Serbia and the great-great-nephew of Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungria together to exchange views "peacefully" on the further integration process of Serbia towards the European Union.
