Hadzi-Prodan.

Hadži Prodan Gligorijević (* around 1760 near Takovo ; † 1825 ) was a voivode during the first Serbian uprising .

Gligorijević took part in many battles against the Ottomans, such as the battle of Prijepolje or that of Nova Varoš. After the failure of the first Serbian uprising, he surrendered to the Turks. After the Ottomans suppressed the Serbs more and more, he tried to start a new uprising in 1814. However, other Serbian leaders saw no chance of a success and did not support it. The uprising was quickly put down and Hadži Prodan Gligorijević fled to Austria. In 1821 he took part in the Greek uprising against the Ottomans.
