Unlike most other dukes, after the collapse of the First Serbian Uprising in 1813, he did not flee across the Sava and the Danube, but together with his father Milija surrendered to the Grand Vizier Hurshid Pasha.
When Mihailo Obrenović came to power, Resavac sided with the leaders of the Constitutional Defender's Party and began to move the people of his region against the prince.
During his reign, Milosav was a member of the Governing State Council until his retirement, and due to his talent for oratory, he gave speeches at court several times.
Thus, Milosav Zdravković, together with Karađorđev's son Aleks, Vuk Karadžić and fifteen other young men, became a student of the first generation of the French modelled institution of higher learning in Belgrade called Visoka škola, hence Grandes écoles.
The collapse of the First Serbian Uprising in 1813 forced a large number of dukes to flee across the Sava and the Danube so that the Turks would not kill them.
Milosav Zdravković did not want to flee, but he and his father Milija decided to surrender to the Grand Vizier Kurshid Pasha.
The Duke of Leskovac, Ilija Strelja, crossed into the Smederevo Nahija with a part of his students and raised the people of this area to arms.
After this battle, Milosav and Pavle Cukić moved to the Resava area and headed to the village of Miliva near Despotovac.
A document on this has been preserved, which states: To let every judge know, like us, the whole vilayet, we received Milosav Zdravković to be our court and the duke and the elder in the vilayet; to keep us as the father of his sons, not to be a stepfather but a father and the right to be guided by the commandments, first of all, the sovereign of God.The wish of the people of the Ćuprija nahiya was confirmed by Prince Miloš Obrenović with his Charter on December 2, 1815, while giving Milosav permission to keep ten cops in order to maintain order in the nahiya.
There was also the formation of the artisan and trade class, and thus the bazaar core, which spread the influence on the economic and social development of the whole of Resava.
Milosav conducted out-of-court adjudication of civil cases until the beginning of the work of the district court of the Ćuprija nahiya on January 1, 1825, with its seat in Svilajnac.
[7] Although Prince Miloš Obrenović and Marashli Ali Pasha agreed to form a joint Serbian-Turkish administration, some spahis continued to act arbitrarily.
In one of them, among other things, he says: We, the undersigned, humbly beg you and hand over the lawsuit, to do you a great favour and to report to the honourable vizier, for the sake of Vranjalija, Ibrahim Spahija, to lift him from here from Ćuprija ...Thus, Prince Milosav later tried to regulate many Serbian-Turkish issues, relying on Milosev's diplomacy.
According to Resava, Milosav, among other things, collected foxes, skunks and rabbit skins for him, which Milos needed for the Belgrade vizier.
But despite their good relations, Milos often changed Milosav's duties, so that he was: a duke, a Nahija prince, a people's judge and finally a member of the State Council.
At the end of 1823, Miloš founded the Great People's Court in Kragujevac, and soon the Belgrade Magistrate, whose president he first appointed Miloje Todorović, and then Milosav Zdravković.
However, he remained in that position for only half a year, because in the fall of 1826, the prince reappointed him as a member of the Great People's Court in Kragujevac.
[3] Since he did not want to rule according to the Turkish constitution, Prince Miloš abdicated in 1839, leaving the throne to his son Milan Obrenović, who was on his deathbed.
After Milan's death, the new prince of Serbia became Miloš's younger son Mihailo Obrenović, who immediately began to persecute many important Serbs.
Milosav Zdravković stood by the leaders of the Constitutional Defender's Party, led by Toma Vučić-Perišić, Avram Petronijević, brothers Stojan and Aleksa Simić, Ilija Garašanin and others.
When the news reached the ombudsman in 1843 that a revolt was being prepared in Smederevo and that there was a real possibility that Obrenović's emigration would enter Serbia, Toma Vučić-Perišić reacted quickly.
Fearing that 2,000 policemen would not arrive in time from Smederevo from Kragujevac, where the headquarters of the ombudsman police were located, Toma ordered 300 infantrymen of the People's Army and 250 regular soldiers with two cannons to be sent there from Belgrade, as well as one captain with 200-strong cavalry.
[8] Milosav had great wealth in his possession, which consisted of numerous meadows, forests, fields, watermills, shops, as well as a lot of money and gold coins.
