[edit]History
[edit]Prince Paul, far more than Alexander, was Yugoslav rather than Serb in outlook (YugoslavismversusSerbian nationalism). However, unlike Alexander, he inclined much more toward democracy. In its broadest outline, his domestic policy worked to eliminate the heritage of Alexander's centralism, censorship, and military control and to pacify the country by solving the Serb-Croat problem.[2]
