As Europe commemorates victory over fascism in World War II, Chetniks gather at Ravna Gora in Serbia to celebrate their defeated army from the war. The multi-day event saw hundreds of sympathizers glorifying war criminals and boasting about past atrocities. The leader of the movement, Ljubovije Nenadovic, proudly spoke about the importance of defending Serbia and expanding its borders, including territories of neighboring countries.
A highlight of the gathering was the honoring of various movements and individuals for their contributions to preserving the Chetnik tradition. Awards were presented to veterans’ associations and other Chetnik groups from different cities, both in Serbia and abroad. The event also featured speeches and performances commemorating their past achievements, including the eradication of the Fazlagica Kula settlement where Bosniak civilians were killed in 1992. Despite controversies surrounding their actions, the Chetniks continue to gather annually to remember and honor their wartime legacy.
Overall, the event at Ravna Gora highlighted the ongoing significance of the Chetnik movement in Serbian history and its enduring impact on contemporary nationalistic sentiments.
