An experienced soldier, Krajević was a lieutenant of the Serbian volunteers in the Austro-Turkish War. Serbs from all the Serbian territories took part in the struggle against the Turkish invaders. The Serbs from Old Serbia (now North Macedonia) bore their share with the rest of their kinfolk in Vojvodina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Dalmatia, Croatia, and Montenegro.
