Biography
During the first Serbian uprising at the beginning of the 19th century, under the leadership of Karageorgii Petrovich, he urged that all rebel forces be directed against Ottoman rule, but these plans, through the fault of Milos Obrenovic, did not succeed. During the unrest in the principality in the 1820s and 1830s, he was a supporter of Prince Milos, in subsequent years, however, he became an ardent statutory representative and one of their main leaders.
Charterholders achieved in 1839 the abdication of Prince Milos Obrenovic. He was in opposition to Prince Mikhail Obrenovich from the Obrenovich dynasty.
Together with A. Petronievich and E. Obrenovic took part in the first of the regencies in Serbia (1839-1840).
A year after taking office, he resigned, motivating this step with allegedly “malicious actions” of Prince Mikhail Obrenovich against him. The contradictions between Mikhail and the opposition led to the expulsion of Toma Vucic Perisic, A. Petronievich and several others from Serbia in August 1840.
In 1842, they carried out a coup d'etat, overthrowing the son of Milos, Prince Michael, and inspired the election of the son of Karageorgii, Alexander Karageorgievich (1842-1858), as the prince.
In 1848-1858 he was in opposition to Prince Alexander. Since 1852 - retired.
After recovering on the throne, Milos Obrenovic was imprisoned in January 1859, later, due to illness, transferred to a military hospital, where he died under mysterious circumstances, and was probably poisoned. He died in agony, the next day he was buried in simple peasant clothes, his remains in 1903 were transferred to the church at the Tashmaydan cemetery in Belgrade.
