The defunct throne of the Monarchy of Yugoslavia (formerly the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes) was abolished in 1945. The current pretender to the defunct throne of Yugoslavia is Crown Prince Alexander. However Yugoslavia is now a defunct state and questions remain whether there is claim to the Serbian throne.
The succession is determined by Article 36 of the Constitution of 1931. The crown descended according to agnatic primogeniture.[1] The order of succession after Crown Prince Alexander is:[2]

Article 37 of the Constitution of 1931 states that, should there be no eligible descendants of King Alexander, the reigning monarch has the right to designate heir presumptive from the collateral lines of the House of Karađorđević. In case the monarch died without designating an heir, the Parliament would have had a right to elect a new monarch. The living male members of the collateral line of the House of Karađorđević are marked with an asterisk (*) in the above list.
