Following the political and territorial support from Istanbul, the Obrenović house has successfully established a stable rulership over Serbia. Various minor reforms have taken place following the law changes in Istanbul, including but not limited to; adopting a more professional army, implementation of an education institution, and some interest in the right to associate & the current exploration of interventionism.
The country has not seen this level of peace and stability in a long time, and many Serbs look forward to a steady and healthy future.
On the other end of the spectrum, the loose cannon Aleksandar Karađorđević who stood against the dynasty has seemingly fizzled out. While it was known that the man had a deep obsessions with firearms, not much thought was given to this detail. However with the increased intensity of radicalism and indeed the passage of suspicious individuals into Serbian territory from the neighbouring Croatia-Slavonia Crownland of Austria, a higher level of mobilized police that were established along certain border regions had caught Aleksandar and his suspected arms manufacturing operation.
Thankfully not much had actually been built yet, but the plans were in place and actively being executed. Had the police not come across him when he did, who knows what it would have lead to? This was enough to implicate Aleksandar (who was already not nearly as popular as he once was) and bring him before the Serbian court.
The ruling itself was straightforward; albeit somewhat strange. Aleksandar by this point in the dynastic struggle obviously did not care for the throne and only had an interest in developing an arms industry. He didn't seem to care much about the fact that he was being exiled from his home country. The court seized his operations, placing them in state care while ordering him to leave the country by the end of the week. He was last heard from finding work in the Austrian army.
