Jakov Nenadović

Jakov Nenadović ( Serbian Јаков Ненадовић , * around 1765 in Brankovina near Valjevo ; † 1836 ibid) was a Serbian voivod leader in the First Serbian Uprising , from 1810 to 1811 President of the Provisional Government of Serbia and from 1811 to 1813 Minister of the Interior. Jakov Nenadović is considered to be Serbia's first interior minister .

Jakov Nenadović was the younger brother of Knezen Aleksa Nenadović. Knezen were heads of villages or village communities who served as mediators between the Ottoman authorities and the Serbian population and were also responsible for their taxes. Aleksa Nenadović and other influential Serbs saw the opportunity for a popular uprising against the Ottoman Empire, in which Knez Aleksa was seen as the leader of the uprising. However, they were betrayed and most of them were murdered by Janissaries , including Knez Aleksa. The uprising of the Serbs started anyway, as the leader of the uprising the Heiduk leader Karađorđe was necessarily elected.

Jakov Nenadović joined the uprising from the beginning and became one of the most influential figures in rebellious Serbia. As a voivode without a Heiducken background, he soon came into opposition to the Heiduckenvojwoden and became the leader of the opposition party to Karađorđe. At his instigation, the Sovjet praviteljstvujušči serbski , the provisional government in rebellious Serbia, was formed in 1807 in order to curtail the powers of Karađorđes and other Heiduckenvojwoden. In 1810 the opposition prevailed and Nenadović was elected president of the provisional government. Due to new political circumstances, Nenandović and Karađorđe came together, and Nenadović resigned as President of the Provisional Government in 1811, but became Minister of Internal Affairs.

When the uprising was broken in 1813 and the Ottomans recaptured the rebellious Serbia, Nenadović emigrated to Moldova with Karađorđe . In 1816 he was in Saint Petersburg and later emigrated to Austria , where he stayed until 1831. He returned to his native Brankovina near Valjevo, where he died in 1836.

Jakov Nenadović had a son, the voivode Jefrem Nenadović. His daughter Persida became the wife of Alexander Karađorđević .
