Aksentije Miladinović

Aksentije Miladinović (c. 1760, Čibutkovica -- 23 January 1820) was one of the four knezes who played a crucial role at the beginning of the First Serbian Uprising in 1804[1] and the first knez and voivode to surrender to Hurshid Pasha after the insurrection was crushed in 1813.

The high memorial and the massive stone tablet still mark the place where the knez and vojvode Aksentije Miladinović was buried almost two centuries ago.

By the form and design, the memorial is a typical tombstone from greater Belgrade at the end of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

During the Second Serbian Uprising, the Jagodina and Ćuprija regions, or nahiye as they were then called, were of important strategic and tactical locations for military defence of the Belgrade Pashaluk`s southern borders.

An important number of the Serbian troops, led by the regional commanders, were concentrated on these territories, where negotiations were organized for the future relations between Serbs and Turks.
