The last thing in the world this country needs is some medieval thug hiding behind a crown.

Actually, constitutional monarchy can be a highly effective system in a country such as Serbia. In economically backward and politically volatile countries, constitutional monarchs are usually less likely to turn into thugs than elected officials. In fact, Constitutional Monarchs can be an effective means of stopping thugs from coming to power, as Juan Carlos proved back in the 1970's.
