Queen Marie of Romania and Princess Ilena visited the King and Queen of Yugoslavia at the Karađorđević Royal Palace in Belgrade and brought with them some of their Bahá'í literature. Prince Paul and his wife Princes Olga were also in attendance. Martha Root explained some elements of the Bahá'í Faith to them. Paul and Olga expressed that they wanted to do something to help Ms Root in her work and arranged for an introduction to Professor Bogan Popovitch, literary critic and academic at the University of Belgrade. The professor obliged by translating a small Bahá'í booklet, The World Religion: A Brief Overview of its Goals, Teachings and History (‘Religija sveta: Kratak pregled njenih ciljeva, učenja I istorije). Four thousand copies of this publication were handed out in the first 10 days.
