Jovan Savić

He moved to Serbia, to Smederevo, where, under the pseudonym Ivan Jugović, he soon became a clerk in the ruling Supreme Council (Praviteljstvujušći sovjet), headed by the president Matija Nenadović.

[7] At the end of 1808, Jugović was politically rehabilitated and headed a diplomatic mission (included Pavle Popović and Janićije Djurić[8]) that spent months in Jassy, at the headquarters of the Russian army, in talks with Field Marshal Prince Alexander Prozorovsky about Serbia's future status.

When Dositej Obradović died in March 1811, Jugović was appointed to the post of the Enlightened One (Minister of Education in the uprising Serbian government).

He left Belgrade at the beginning of March 1813, and spent the last months of his life between Bačka Palanka, Timișoara, Vienna and Greater Beccerek (today Zrenjanin), where he died on 7/19.

Ivan Jugović (Jovan Savić) along with Dositej Obradović and Ilija Garašanin became the most famous and influential Serbs in Revolutionary Serbia.
