The 1389 Movement opposes the independence of Kosovo, and has received recognition from the Serbian Orthodox Church.

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".

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.
