Veliki Borak (Serbian Cyrillic: Велики Борак) is a suburban settlement of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia.
In the period of the First Serbian Uprising (1804-1813), this region produced many well-known names, among which the most famous ones are the knez Sima Marković and the hero Milisav Čamdžija, who was the first among the rebels to enter the Belgrade fortress.
According to the local, oral tradition, the very first post office in Serbia was opened in Veliki Borak, being operational while the assembly and the council were seated in the village.
[2] While the existence of the proper post office on such important location during the uprising, which would allow fast communication with the other, local rebel centers, the national postal service "Pošta Srbije" claims there are no written records to confirm that the post office was opened in Veliki Borak at the time.
Despite claiming it has no records to confirm the 1800s post office in the village, the "Pošta Srbije" tried to purchase the Milovanović house, but the owners refused.
