Annual rallies
The party founder of the Serbian Renewal Movement and later Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Drašković and his wife Danica attempted to organize a media-effective visit to Ravna Gora in honor of the Chetnik leader Dragoljub Draža Mihailović on May 13, 1990, the anniversary of the foundation of the Ravna Gora movement . However, they were violently prevented from doing so by units of the Yugoslav Interior Ministry. Motivated by this incident, celebrations and services by Chetnik supporters, monarchists and pro-Serb nationalists from all countries have taken place on Ravna Gora every year between May 11th and 13th, ending with a final rally. The anti-fascist struggle of the Chetniks is invoked in speeches and the communist regime is denounced. Drašković, who successfully campaigns for the legalization of the Chetnik movement, often attended the rallies and gave several speeches there. The annual marches were initially reluctantly and later more and more openly tolerated by the authorities. In 1992 a statue of Draža Mihailović was erected on Ravna Gora.
