AG Draconis is a bright symbiotic binary consisting of a white dwarf and apulsating cool giant. Moreover, it is the most intense X-ray source amongsymbiotic stars, and one of the best representatives of the super-soft X-rayobjects. The system undergoes characteristic symbiotic activity withalternating quiescent and active stages. The active ones consist of severaloutbursts repeating at about a one-year interval. The recent activity stage ofAG Dra began with the weak pre-outburst in 2015 followed by a more prominentoutburst in 2016. According to photometric and some spectroscopic observations,both brightenings belong to the minor (hot) outbursts of AG Dra. Such behaviorof the active stage is quite unusual because more often, the activity of AG Drastarts with a major (cool) outburst. Moreover, the behavior of Raman scatteredOVI lines at {\lambda} 6825 {\AA} and {\lambda} 7082 {\AA} suggest that theminor outburst of AG Dra in April 2016 has the characteristics of both the hotand cool outbursts. Based on the above, an open question is the next evolutionof activity of the symbiotic binary AG Dra in 2017 and beyond.
