 The Chetnik movement also functioned as a civilian organization during the interwar period, initially as the "Chetnik Association for the Freedom and Honor of the Fatherland" (Удружење Четника за слободу и част Отаџбине / "Udruženje Četnika za slobodu i čast Otadžbine"), a Chetnik veteran organisation formed in Belgrade in 1921.The aims of the organisation were to foster Chetnik history, spread Chetnik ideas, and to care for disabled Chetniks and the widows and orphans of fallen Chetniks.Initially the organisation was aligned with the Democratic Party, but the increasing influence of the People's Radical Party resulted in a split of the organisation in 1924.
