A meeting of our organization with Dr. Leonid Savin was organized in Belgrade in March, 2016. Dr. Savin is an eminent geopolitician and politicologist, close associate of Professor Aleksandr Dugin. He is a head of the Russian institute Katehon. On the meeting were discussed the concrete methods of future cooperation related to the projects of incorporation of Serbia in the eurasian geopolitical zone. On the occasion of his visit to Belgrade, Dr. Savin held a lecture about the hybrid warfare organized by the Institute for European Studies.

Sovereign Military Order of the Dragon participated in the traditional ritual of swimming for the Holy Cross of 2016.

This Orthodox Christian ritual is organized by the Serbian orthodox church in the coldest part of the year, on the Epiphany day, the 19th of January. For this occasion, a wooden cross is put in the river 33 meters from the river bank. People dive in the cold river and swim to touch the Holy cross. The tradition of swimming for the Holy cross exists in all towns and villages in Serbia.Our members were swimming on several spots (on the photos is shown the swimming under Kalemegdan fortress in Belgrade).

Grand Commander of the Order in Ostruznica

Sovereign Military Order of the Dragon took an active part in the defense against the catastrophal floods that stroke Serbia in May, 2014. The Order recruited and synchronized members that were sent in the most vulnerable zones, like Sabac, Ostruznica, Baric, etc.

Members of the Order in Ostruznica

Men were engaged in the process of construction of anti-flood walls and in sand bag making. The Supreme Command of the Order will keep following the situation in the next days, and will organize the further actions wherever a need appears.

Mrs. Natasa Markovic (64), the only remaining Serb in the village of Brezanik, near the city of Pec was attacked by the Albanians in the night of the 13th of April. In fear for life, she was forced to hide in the forest which surrounds the village. Albanian policemen of the Kosovo Police refused to help her when she gave them a call. Fortunately, Mrs Markovic had the telephone no. of the regional command of the Sovereign Military Order of the Dragon since several months ago, our Order helped her with the humanitarian aid in one of our projects. Mr. Momcilo Arlov, regional commander for Kosovo immediately took the action and organized the rescue mission. At the end of the action, Mr. Arlov contacted directly Mr. Vulin, as well as the EULEX mission. The result of his engagement is a relative security of Mrs Markovic who was given two Serbian policemen from the police station of Gorazdevac to protect her.Despite the fact that this brave lady lives alone in the extremely hostile environment, after this night she told us: “They keep repeating to me where Belgrade is, but I know very well where I was born.”Sovereign Military order of the Dragon will keep following the situation about Mrs. Markovic.
