The decision on rehabilitation was brought on July 10 and came into force on August 22, court spokesperson Tanja Koljensic told Tanjug.
The Belgrade High Court has earlier rehabilitated the king’s mother Marija and son Aleksandar Karadjordjevic and also Prince Pavle’s children – Princess Jelisaveta and late Prince Nikola Karadjordjevic.
