Pavle or Paul?[edit]

Should this article be renamed from Prince Pavle of Yugoslavia to Prince Paul of Yugoslavia? As I can see from the names of other rulers, the English custom is to choose an English name (eg. Alexander I of Yugoslavia, not Aleksandar I of Yugoslavia). --Romanm 20:51, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Paul himself used the name Prince Paul of Yugoslavia, so I guess it's OK to use it in the article. European nobility uses title and name styling that's slightly different from the Serbian one. Also, he was born abroad, in Russia, then lived in Switzerland for about ten years, and he adopted the title Prince Paul during that period. One could argue that the title 'prince' isn't the same as Serbian 'knez', but since Paul used it himself all his life, I don't see why we should change it. As for the name Paul, it's a Christian name and it excists in almost any language in one form or another (see the site NamepediA for that, or just search for the article "Paul (name)" here on Wikipedia .

Date of death[edit]

A good proportion of the interlang articles have him dying on 14 Setember, not 11 September. Can we clarify this? -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 20:48, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Meeting with Hitler[edit]

No mention of Serbian nazi/fascist collaborationist past. In 1939, Prince Paul (Serbian name: Pavle Karadjordjevic), as head of state, accepted an official invitation from Adolph Hitler and spent 9 days in Berlin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.98.106.29 (talk) 19:54, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The meeting can be mentioned (archival film footage excists of it, you can look it up on YouTube if you like), but it wasn't particularly important because it didn't result with any agreements being made. There was hardly any collaboration between Yugoslavia and the Axis Powers and it's questionable if you can even call it that. HAL 9000 22:19, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Pesic?[edit]

"On 6 March 1941, Paul called a meeting of the Yugoslav Crown Council, where Pešić stated his opinion as a soldier that the Royal Yugoslav Army could not stop a German invasion". Full name of Pesic? 108.184.93.126 (talk) 01:42, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He's already linked with name in full further up the article. It's Petar Pešić. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 03:27, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
