Đorđe Cvetković was born in the village of Labuništi, in Drimkol near Struga in 1860 as the son of Dimitrije Cvetković, one of the commanders of Serbian volunteers from Old Serbia in the Serbian-Turkish war of 1876. The village of Labuništa, as well as the villages of Podgorci, Krstec, Jablanica and Vevčani in Drimkol were are Serbian-patriarchal villages either had a Serbian majority and suffered pressure from the VMRO, to enter the Bulgarian Exarchy and the VMRO, especially from Duke Miloš of Bezov. The pressure increased after the Ilindan uprising. In August 1904, in the village of Labuništi, Pandilo Đoreski formed a village company for self-defense and set up guards to defend the village against VMRO incursions. The Drimkol Serbs, unsure of themselves, invite the son of their former leader Dimitrije, Đorđe Cvetković, who at that time runs the tavern "Three Bunches" in Belgrade, to come and take command of the company. He closes the tavern and leaves at the head of the company to defend his region from oppression. In 1904, negotiations were underway between the Serbian Defense and Boris Sarafov, who agreed for money to send three Serbian companies to the territory of Old Serbia and Macedonia through the channels of VMRO. In the autumn of 1904, in addition to the company of Gligor Sokolović, he also conducted the company of Đorđe Cvetković. Cvetković arrived in Drimkol with several Chetniks and took over the company from Pandil Đoreski. The presence of Muslims and Albanians in the surrounding villages, as well as the strength of Miloš's company from Bezov, forced Cvetković to spend the entire winter of 1904/1905. he spends time outside the village chatting in the mountains and avoiding villages because of the possibility of reprisals. Due to the winter and hard life, his health deteriorated and he died of frostbite in the spring of 1905. sr.wikipedia
