[1] Nikola Lunjevica was considered a man of wise counsel in his community, and with financial resources and commercial knowledge, he also helped with the procurement of ammunition for the Serbian insurgent army.

Their contemporary, Sima Milutinović Sarajlija, indicates that Duke Miloš, coming from Takovo, where the uprising was arranged, found a horse load full of thalers at home in Crnuć, which was given to him by the landlord Nikola Milićević from the village of Lunjevica.

When both Milan and Rista died, Nikola Lunjevica went to the court of Prince Miloš Obrenović and handed him a sealed envelope with money entrusted to him for safekeeping.

Lunjevica is best remembered for having founded the first private school in Serbia and in Europe,[3] and rebuilding the Vujan monastery, where he was buried after his death on 11 (23 Gregorian Calendar) May 1842.
