The Serbian Orthodox Church, together with representatives of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, has established the St. Petka Foundation on the territory of the Republic of Croatia with the aim of ensuring that “the youngest members of the Serbian people learn about their national identity” and about “Svetosavlje as the foundation of their activity.”
In addition to numerous guests closely connected with the Russian Federation, members of the Foundation’s board of directors include Darko Tanasković and Dejan Drakulić.
