On August 1st and 2nd, 2024, knightly games were held on Mount Lukavica near Nikšić and in Pribojska Banja, organized by the Diocese of Budimlje and Nikšić and the Nikšić Tourist Organization as part of the project “Contest for Ilindan – Historic Re-enactment Events and Outdoor Tourism.”
The event was organized with the aim of contributing to the sustainable use of the region’s tourist potential through the joint promotion of religious, cultural, and recreational tourism. Project activities are focused on the municipalities of Nikšić and Bijelo Polje in Montenegro and the municipality of Priboj in Serbia, where religious, cultural, historical, and recreational tourism is recognized as a significant potential for development.
By organizing a new event and reconstructing historical scenes with performers and animators, the project introduces new cultural content into the tourist offerings of Nikšić and Priboj. This approach draws the attention of visitors, enriches the quality of the event, and provides a new and educational perspective that emphasizes history and culture. 
The Svibor Association of Serbia, an organization dedicated to the promotion and practice of knightly combat and medieval culture, participated in the event. For the occasion, a medieval village with four tents was set up, equipped with tables, benches, furs, and tools, showcasing old crafts and medieval weapons. The Svibor knights performed outdoors in full military gear, demonstrating knightly combat with swords, spears, halberds, axes, a jousting tournament, ax throwing, wrestling, stone throwing, stick fighting, arm wrestling, the use of a medieval war bow and arrow, and massive knightly battles.
Visitors had the opportunity to participate in target shooting using soft props and safety equipment, and many took the chance to take photos in knightly costumes, armor, and equipment.
As part of this project, activities include building footpaths with additional equipment in the Pribojska Banja monastery complex, installing glamping tents with additional equipment near the Samograd monastery in Bijelo Polje and on Mount Lukavica in the municipality of Nikšić, creating programs for historical events, organizing historical events in Bijelo Polje and Priboj, and incorporating these events and services into the municipalities’ action plans.
