History

During the First Serbian Uprising (1804–13), the Dragačevo area was organized into a knežina (administrative unit) of Revolutionary Serbia, belonging to the Požega nahiya.[1] The Požega nahiya had included three knežina (Christian self-governing village groups) prior to 1804, the Dragačevo, Podibar and Čačanska Morava;[2] with the uprising, Podibar and Čačanska Morava were united.[3]

The villages of Dragačevo involved in the uprising were Virovo, Viča, Vlasteljice, Guča, Goračići, Guberevci, Grab, Gornji Dubac, Donja Kravarica, Donji Dubac, Zeoke, Kaona, Krstac, Lučani, Lis, Lisa, Lisice, Kotraža, Markovica, Dučalovići, Negrišori, Mirosaljci, Prilipac, Puhovo, Milatovići, Osonica, Rti-Krivača (now Rti and Krivača), Rogača, Rtari, Cerova, Trešnjevica, Tijanje, Brezovica.[4]

Among the most notable participants in the Serbian Revolution that hailed from Dragačevo are:

  • Milovan Nedeljković, later knez and kapetan of Dragačevo, from Virovo.[1]
  • Milutin Ilić (1739–1814), archpriest and vojvoda of Dragačevo, from Guča.[1]
  • Đoka Protić (1765–1815), vojvoda of Dragačevo, from Guča, Milutin's son.[1]
  • Novačić (d. 1813), hajduk harambaša and vojvoda of Dragačevo, from Goračići.[5]
  • Milić Radović (1775–1815), hajduk harambaša and vojvoda of Dragačevo, from Kaona.[5]
  • Simo Radović (1777–1845), commander, from Kaona, Milić's brother.[5]
  • Filip Tajsić (1786–1834), knez, from Puhovo.[6]

During Hadži Prodan's rebellion (1814), Ottoman commander Ćor-Zuka and Serbian leader Miloš Obrenović suppressed the rebels in Dragačevo, captured Hadži Prodan's family and executed 60 Serbs.[7] After the executions at Belgrade, Vizier Adem Pasha of Novi Pazar took his troops back to Novi Pazar via Dragačevo.[8] Following the Takovo Meeting, which proclaimed the Second Serbian Uprising, vojvoda Lazar Mutap went to Dragačevo to collect rebels and then join with Jovan Obrenović in Čačak.[9] After taking over Čačak, Miloš Obrenović sent Avram Lukić, the vojvoda and knez of Dragačevo, to support Radosav Jelečanin's siege of Karanovac.[10]
