King Peter Karageorgevitch of Servia 1904

A 1904 article in Munsey’s Magazine called Servia, “the most uneasy throne in Europe.” The other
monarchs of Europe decline any kind of intercourse with him.”
They are unhappy with him for not disassociating himself from the assassins of the previous king. The circumstances of the assassination were of “such a particularly savage and frightful character” that they could not be overlooked.
The other powers made it clear to King Peter that before he was accepted among the other powers of Europe, he must clear himself of playing any part in the assassination of his predecessor.
He had not done that.
