=Serbian Chetnik Organization=
He participated in the famous battle at Čelopek (April 1905). Together with Lazar Kujundžić and Živojin Milovanović he turned and went for Poreče, through Kosovo and Metohija and Podgora, in order to bypass Ottoman harassing in the Kumanovo region. Milovanović, as a Serbian officer, was to establish the headquarters of Western Povardarje. The company was betrayed in Velika Hoča on May 25, 1905, by local Albanians who had initially promised (see besa) their security, thus they were forced to battle the Ottoman Army and neighbouring Albanian kachaks. After a long fight, all of these Chetniks died for a cause, and not in vain.
