King Alexander I of Yugoslavia, Tsar Boris III of Bulgaria, and their wives meet officials in Belgrade, Yugoslavia

King Alexander I (Aleksandar I) of Yugoslavia and Tsar Boris III of Bulgaria board a car in front of a building during the Bulgarian tsar’s state visit to Belgrade, Yugoslavia. Tsaritsa Giovanna of Italy, wife of Tsar Boris III, and Queen Maria of Yugoslavia are seen with other government officials in front of the building. The coats of arms of Yugoslavia and Bulgaria are seen in columns. Tsaritsa Giovanna of Italy and Queen Maria of Yugoslavia talk to King Alexander I, Tsar Boris III and officials before they are seen in a car together. Tsar Boris III, King Alexander I, and their wives walk together. Yugoslav troops stand at attention in snow on snow covered road. Yugoslav civilians cheering during a parade for Tsar Boris III in Belgrade. Yugoslav troops holding a flag bearing the Greater coat of arms of Yugoslavia. Tsar Boris III and King Alexander I arrive at a monument. Snow covered monument with floral wreaths. Name of monument is inscribed in Serbian Cyrillic. Troops stand at attention. (Based on text descriptions, this is possibly the original, smaller memorial to the Unknown Serbian Soldier, later replaced by the Monument to the Unknown Hero that was built atop the demolished Žrnov and completed in 1934. The original memorial, near Žrnov at the Avala mountain, was completed in June 1922. The form and size of the 1922 memorial appear to match the memorial seen in this footage.) Next scene is back in Belgrade, as Yugoslav men are waving their hats on the street. Yugoslav troops stand at attention and march on snowy street. Tsaritsa Giovanna and Queen Maria shake hands with officials. King Alexander I of Yugoslavia and Tsar Boris III of Bulgaria and their wives climb down from their car.
