Ideology

Its name was adopted from the year of the Battle of Kosovo.

The Movement is Serbian nationalist, highly opposed to LGBT rights (especially the Belgrade Pride parade) and supports compulsory military service.

The movement opposes EU and NATO integration, which it sees as acts against a "free Serbia".[3] Instead, the group supports Eurasian integration. It strongly opposes the 2013 Brussels Agreement and "normalization" of relations with Kosovo, which they claim is a euphemism for the independence of the Province of Kosovo and Metohija.

History

On 4 December 2008, several members including the spokesman Miša Vacić were expelled from the organization. Vacić formed the Serbian People's Movement 1389 which was formally registered on 15 March 2010.[4]

In February 2014, the organization received support from the Serbian Orthodox Church to hold anti-abortion lities in churches of the Archbishopric of Belgrade and Karlovci.[5]
