that every nation has the right
to decide its own destiny, are agreed in judging that this State should
be founded on the following modern and democratic principles:

(1) The State of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, who are also known
as the Southern Slavs or Jugo-Slavs, will be a free and independent
kingdom, with indivisible territory and unity of allegiance. It will
be a constitutional, democratic and parliamentary monarchy under the
Karageorgevitch Dynasty, which has always shared the ideas and the
feelings of the nation, placing liberty and the national will above all
else.

(2) This State will be named "THE KINGDOM OF THE SERBS, CROATS, AND
SLOVENES." And the style of the Sovereign will be "KING OF THE SERBS,
CROATS, AND SLOVENES."

(3) The State will have a single coat-of-arms, a single flag, and a
single crown. These emblems will be composed of the present existing
emblems. The unity of the State will be symbolized by the coat-of-arms
and the flag of the Kingdom.

(4) The special Serb, Croat, and Slovene flags rank equally and may be
freely hoisted on all occasions. The special coat-of-arms may be used
with equal freedom.

(5) The three national designations--Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes--are
equal before the law throughout the territory of the Kingdom, and
everyone may use them freely upon all occasions of public life and in
dealing with the authorities.

(6) The two alphabets, the Cyrillic and the Latin, also rank equally,
and everyone may use them freely throughout the territory of the
Kingdom. The royal authorities and the local self-governing authorities
have both the right and the duty to employ both alphabets in accordance
with the wishes of the citizens.

(7) All recognized religions may be freely and publicly exercised. The
Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Mussulman faiths, which are those chiefly
professed by our nation, shall rank equally and enjoy equal rights with
regard to the State.

In consideration of these principles the legislative will take special
care to safeguard religious concord in conformity with the spirit and
tradition of our whole nation.

(8) The calendar will be unified as soon as possible.

(9) The territory of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes
will include all the territory inhabited compactly and in territorial
continuity by our nation of the three names. It cannot be mutilated
without detriment to the vital interests of the community.
