by the ringing voice of their best representatives.

land are united in the Unitary Kingdom, over
which my august father, His Majesty King
Peter, has by the will of the people been called
to reign as King of all Serbs, Croats, and
Slovenes. Representing the Royal authority in
his name, I, in agreement with the leaders and
plenipotentiaries of all Serb, Croat, and Slovene
National parties, have formed our first National
Government as the visible sign of our brotherhood
and complete fraternal solidarity. In this
Government the foremost men of all three
faiths, and all three names, the representatives
of all parties and all provinces of the Kingdom,
will sit and work together. Our Government
will work in complete harmony with the representatives
of the people and be responsible to
the latter for the convocation by us in Belgrade,
as soon as possible, of the National Assembly,
consisting of delegates from the Serbian Parliament
from Old Serbia and Macedonia, of a
proportionate number of members of the
National Councils and the representatives of
Montenegro. The National Assembly will constitute
the provisional but fully authorized
legislative body in our Kingdom. As King of a
free and democratic nation, I shall in all matters
unwaveringly uphold the principles of Constitutional
Parliamentary rule, which will be the
foundation stone of the State created by the
