Obraz
Krstić was а founder and first president of Serbian far right youth organization Obraz (The Cheek/The Face), that was banned in June 2012. The name of the movement was taken from the magazine Obraz from which this movement emerged.
Theological and political work
Jovan Byford referred to him as a controversial right-wing antisemitic young theologian. Klaus Buchenau described Krstić, editor of journal Svetigora and contributor to journal Pravoslavlje, as charismatic leader who struggled against the New World Order. In 1991 Krstić received Saint Sava award from Serbian Patriarch Pavle for his philosophical-theological work Pojam Logosa kod Svetog Jovana Bogoslova and in 1993 he was awarded by Yugoslav Society for Scientific Research of the Religion for the best work on theology published in 1993.
Buchenau explained that Krstić propagated a union of the Balkan countries with majority of Orthodox Christian population (like Balkan League in the First Balkan War) and recapture of the supposedly Serb territories lost during Yugoslav wars of 1990's. Dragan Subotić emphasized that Krstić supported position of Nikolaj Velimirović, who believed that three basis of Serbdom are God, King and home (family). In an interview given in March 2001 Krstić rejected accusation that he was pro-fascist and confirmed that he was an admirer of "Serbian martyrs" Dragoslav Mihailović, Milan Nedić and Dimitrije Ljotić. In August 2001 Krstić announced that he was going to sue Helsinki Committee for Human Rights because this organization accused Obraz for antisemitism. He also emphasized that number of members of Obraz movement had reached more than 30,000 and was increasing.
Death and legacy
On 3 December 2001 Krstić died in a car accident, which was perceived by his supporters as a politically motivated assassination. After his death Obraz broke into two different factions and lost its significance. The only faction which continued with its activities after Krstić's death was banned in June 2012 for violation of the minority rights and inspiring inter-ethnic and inter-religious hatred.
