As such, it is divided in several sub-neighborhoods, which were built as Žarkovo's extensions: Julino Brdo and Repište to the north, Cerak-Cerak II to the west and Bele Vode and Rupčine to the south.

[1][2][3] In general, Greater Žarkovo is bordered by the Čukarica, Banovo Brdo and Sunčana Padina to the north, Košutnjak (with Filmski Grad) to the east, Skojevsko Naselje and Cerak Vinogradi to the northeast and Makiš to the west.

Primićur was a title, Slavic version of the German word kramar, chief of the military guard which escorted trade caravans.

For example, town of Obrenovac, southwest from Žarkovo, was previously called Palež (burned ground, arson).

It flew to the northwest parallel to the streets of Ratka Mitrovića and Ace Joksimovića, and then turning to the west, flowing into one of the numerous water canals in Makiš.

However, an informal settlement developed at the bottom of the valley, under the bridge, polluting the stream and covering it with garbage.

[2][3][6] The remains of the large Neolithic settlement from the period of the Vinča culture, known as the Ledine locality, was found in the area (Cerak Vinogradi).

Serbian merchants were selling entire herds of pigs and oxen via Žarkovo and the Ostružnica ferry on the Sava's bank.

But, also because of its location, most of the military attacks on Belgrade originated from Žarkovo's direction, after forcing a river crossing.

This included the Austrian attacks of 1717 by Prince Eugene of Savoy, and 1789 by Ernst Gideon von Laudon.

He agreed, let the Ottomans through the gauntlet (with Serbian soldiers firing in the air) organized at modern Bele Vode section of Žarkovo and moved the army.

After the war, and creation of the united South Slav state, Žarkovo lost its lucrative border trading post importance.

[10] Čukarica municipality recreated local community of Žarkovo, which included Julino Brdo and Bele Vode but without Cerak.

The school was built from solid materials, with a simple design of a modest, standardized architectural "box" style.

The ground-floor object has a cellar beneath a part of the roof, which is four-gabled and covered with flat tiles.

At the plateau next to the building, there was a monument dedicated to the fallen heroes in World War II, but was later moved next to the "Ljuba Nenadović" elementary school.

Big, glass-plated shopping mall was built instead, and as the commercial facilities spread around it, it is today the busiest part of Žarkovo and a major crossroad of numerous public transportation and intercity bus lines.

[17] A major communal problem is an informal Romany settlement under the Žarkovo Bridge, in the valley of the Paripovac stream.

Urbanized today, with its small houses with backyards and short streets, it still distinct itself from the rest of the modern, tall buildings in the neighborhood.

Western part of the neighborhood, alongside the Milorada Jovanovića Street is industrialized though, so as the area on the Makiš-Bele Vode border (freight train station and a marshalling yard on the Belgrade-Bar railway, the largest one in Belgrade, and the central facilities (including the water factory) of the Belgrade waterworks).
