paja Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Number of foreigners awarded with the Order of the Cross of Takovo is not that small. I believe that first foreign recipients were Russian volunteers during War for Liberation and Independence 1876-77-78. General Mikhail Chernyayev was the first one who received first class cross from 1876 when it was organized as a two class order. Photo of the general the wearing the order from 1877 (1876 type replaced). Unfortunately I can't think of any Belgian recipients of Serbian decorations from pre-WW1 period. But for example Albert I was one of the rare recipients of the Order of the Star of Karađorđe with Swords 1st class.
