In the 1970s, the lower course of the Jezava was diverted into a new stream bed, leading to the Great Morava.

[2] The Jezava drains an area of 692 km (430 mi), belonging to the Black Sea drainage basin.

[1] In October and November of 1944, the new Communist military authorities began executions of the residents of Smederevo they declared traitors and collaborators.

Hundreds of people were executed on the bank of Jezava, without proper trials and after public humiliation, including wealthy denizens, priests, intellectuals and anti-Communists.

[3] In the 21st century there were several actions to mark the location including memorial park (in 2002-2004 when even the commission was formed, 2011 and 2022-2023), but city authorities ignored it, and everything resulted with a cross and an annual parastos.
