Sredwovekovno nalazi{te - Divi~me| u Kova~evcu

PRO[LOST

Medieval site - Divi~me|j in Kova~evac

Prema legendi, Mladenovac svoj naziv duguje izvesnom Mladenu koji je 200 godina posle Kosovskog boja, sa svoja dva brata, Vlajkom i Rajkom, u ovaj kraj stigao sa Kosova. Mesta gde su wihovi potomci formirali porodice su Mladenovac, Vla{ka i Rajkovac.

Prva naseqa na teritoriji dana{we Op{tine Mladenovac formirana su jo{ u doba praistorije, o ~emu svedo~e brojna arheolo{ka nalazi{ta i oko 200 registrovanih ostataka praistorijskih naseqa. Protostar~eva~ko nalazi{te s kraja 6. milenijuma p.n.e. u Bata{evu i Divi~me| u Kova~evcu, gde je otkriven ranosredwovekovni grad iz perioda od 9. do 11. veka. U Velikoj Krsni je istra`en tribalski kne`evski grob sa kraja 6. veka p.n.e. sa bogatim zlatnim i srebrnim grobnim prilozima.

Jablanica se svrstava u lokalnu srbijansku i klasi~nu varijantu vin~anske kulture, iz kasnog neolita. Zauzima povr{inu oko 50 hektara i spada u red najve}ih naseqa vin~anske kulture.

Sa Jablanice najve}e interesovawe privla~e ostvarewa figuralne plastike. Veliki broj celih i fragmentovanih terakota u Muzeju Mladenovca ~ini vrednu zbirku. Zastupqene su raznovrsne antropomorfne i zoomorfne figurine, amuleti, `rtvenici, toke i minijaturni predmeti. Figuralna plastika sadr`i elemente religije i magije, ali istaknut je i estetski aspekt sa te`wom da pru`i ose}aj lepog i dopadqivog.

HISTORY The legend has it that Mladenovac owes its name to a certain Mladen who, 200 years after the Battle of Kosovo, with his two brothers, Vlajko and Rajko, arrived to this area from Kosovo. The places where their descendants formed their families are Mladenovac, VlaĹĄka, and Rajkovac.

The first settlements in the territory of the present-day Municipality of Mladenovac were formed way back in the prehistoric times, which is borne out by numerous archaeological sites and around 200 registered remnants of prehistoric settlements. The Proto-Star~evo site from the end of the 6th millennium B.C. in BataĹĄevo, and Divi~me| in Kova~evac, where an early medieval town has been discovered from the period from the 9th to the 11th century. In Velika Krsna, a tribal prince's grave from the end of the 6th century B.C. with rich golden and silver grave offerings has been explored.

Jablanica ranks among the local Serbian and the classical variant of the Vin~a culture, from the late Neolithic. It covers an area of around 50 hectares and it is one of the largest settlements of the Vin~a culture. From Jablanica, the creations of figural plastic art attract the greatest interest. A great number of complete and fragmented pottery in Mladenovac Museum constitute a valuable collection. It includes various anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figurines, amulets, sacrificial altars, buttons, and miniature objects. Figural plastic art contains elements of religion and magic, but the aesthetic aspect is also emphasized with the aspiration to arouse the feeling of beautiful and attractive.

Najstariji tragovi `ivota na Bata{evu, prema ostacima materijalne kulture, pripadaju mla|em kamenom dobu i kulturi ranih zemqoradni~arsko-sto~arskih zajednica koje su na Balkan stizale iz Anadolije polovinom 7. milenijuma p.n.e.

Najzna~ajniji predmet ovog nalazi{ta je dobro o~uvana i za ~itav prostor Balkana jedinstvena posuda "Bata{evski pitos". Aksoidnog je oblika, visine oko 60 centimetara, u crvenoj boji, reqefno ukra{en. Pretpostavqa se da je imao kultnu namenu. Zna~ajan je i nalaz cele statuete "Bata{evska venera", s nagla{enim atributima plodnosti. Ostaci arhitekture i arheolo{ki predmeti ukazuju da je ovo nalazi{te u svom vremenu bilo zna~ajan privredno-ekonomski centar na {irem geografskom prostoru.

O sredwovekovnim naseqima na teritoriji Gradske op{tine Mladenovac vrlo malo se znalo do druge polovine 20. veka. Imena ve}ine savremenih naseqa na teritoriji mladenova~ke op{tine vezana su za narodna predawa, koja wihov nastanak sme{taju u vreme pred Kosovski boj ili posle wega. Na osnovu rezultata stru~nih arheolo{kih analiza i iskopavawa na teritoriji Mladenovca, zapa`a se da su najbrojniji ostaci slovenskih i srpskih naseqa u dolini reke Veliki Lug. Dominantno stanovni{tvo teritorije Mladenovca, od najstarijih naseqa iz 7-8. veka do mongolskog osvajawa, ~ine Sloveni i prepoznatqivi su po nalazi{tima keramike, nakita i oru`ja.

The oldest vestiges of life at BataĹĄevo, judging by the remnants of material culture, belong to the Early Stone Age and the culture of early farming and livestock breeding communities, which were arriving to the Balkans from Anatolia in the middle of the 7th millennium B.C. The most significant object from this site is well preserved and in the entire space of the Balkans unique jar, BataĹĄevo pithos. It is of axioid shape, around 60 centimetres tall, red, decorated with a relief. It is assumed that it was used for worship. Another important find is one of the whole statuette of BataĹĄevo Venus, with emphasized attributes of fertility. Vestiges of architecture and archaeological objects indicate that this site was an important economic centre on a wider geographical area in its time.

It had been very little known about the medieval settlements in the territory of the City Municipality of Mladenovac up to the second half of the 20th century. The names of the majority of contemporary settlements in the territory of Mladenovac Municipality are associated with the folk traditions, which place their origin at the time before the Battle of Kosovo or after it. Based on the results of expert archaeological analyses and excavations in the territory of Mladenovac, it is noticeable that the vestiges of Slavonic and Serbian settlements in the valley of the Veliki Lug River are the most numerous ones. The dominant population in the territory of Mladenovac, from the oldest settlements from the 7th - 8th century up to the Mongolian conquest, had been Slavs and they are recognizable by the sites of pottery, jewellery, and weapons. In the period from the 9th to the 11th century, the number of Slavonic settlements considerably increased, which is connected with the migration trends of the Slavonic

znatno se uve}ao, {to se povezuje sa migracionim kretawima slovenskog `ivqa pred odre|enim opasnostima, kao {to su prirodne nepogode ili ratovi. Sloveni, u tom periodu, u okviru ve}ih naseqa podi`u utvr|ewa sa bedemima od najdostupnijih materijala - drveta i zemqe. Iskopavawem nalazi{ta Divi~me| otkriveni su arhitektonski elementi koji ukazuju na utvr|ivawe jezgra naseqa palisadom i iskopima rovova.

Dana{wa naseqa u mladenova~kom kraju se pomiwu jo{ u sredwem veku, u doba despota Stefana Lazarevi}a, a kasnije, po~etkom 16. veka i u turskim popisima. Prvi zvani~ni podaci o nasequ na ovom podru~ju nalaze se u turskom popisu stanovni{tva iz 1528. godine.

Razvoj saobra}aja u Srbiji presudno je uticao na formirawe varo{kog naseqa na ataru ranijeg sela Mladenovca. Novo naseqe se razvijalo oko @elezni~ke stanice na pruzi Beograd - Ni{, koja se u po~etku zvala Me|ulu`je, podignuto odmah po izgradwi pruge 1882. Tom prilikom sagra|ena je i prva zgrada budu}e varo{i, mehana "Kosmaj" (dana{wa "Stara mehana").

Ve} 1885. izgra|en je prvi parni mlin, a prva osnovna {kola po~ela je sa radom 1895.

Ukazom kraqa Aleksandra Obrenovi}a, od 2. avgusta 1893. godine, naseqe Mladenovac progla{eno je za varo{icu.

population facing certain threats, such as natural disasters or wars. In that period, Slavs within major settlements erected fortifications with defensive walls of the most available materials - timber and earth. Excavations of Divi~me| site revealed architectural elements that point to the fortification of the settlement centre using palisades and by excavation of trenches.

The present-day settlements in Mladenovac area were recorded as early as in the Middle Ages, at the time of Despot Stefan Lazarevi}, and later, in the beginning of the 16th century, in the Ottoman census records as well. The first official data on a settlement in this territory is found in the 1528 Ottoman population census.

The development of transport in Serbia had the decisive impact on the formation of a town-like settlement in the territory of the former village of Mladenovac. The new settlement developed around the Railway Station on the Belgrade - NiĹĄ railway line, which was initially called Me|ulu`je, built promptly after the construction of the line in 1882. On that occasion, the first building of the future borough was also constructed, Kosmaj tavern (the present-day Stara mehana (i.e. Old Tavern)).

Already in 1885, the first steam mill was constructed, and the first primary school started operating in 1895.

By the decree of King Aleksandar Obrenovi}, dated 2 August 1893, the settlement of Mladenovac was declared the borough.

The narrow-gauge Mladenovac - Aran|elovac - Lajkovac railway line was constructed in 1904. The beginning of industrialization was the construction of a slaughterhouse, which Paja Jovanovi} opened in 1907.

Industrijski razvoj varo{i Mladenovac prati i razvoj upravno-administrativne funkcije i 1930. Mladenovac je postao sedi{te istoimenog sreza kojem je kasnije pripojen i Kosmajski srez.

Op{tinu Mladenovac u periodu 1945-1955. ~inila je samo varo{ Mladenovac, a od 1955. do 1957. pridru`ena su joj i sela Mladenovac, Me|ulu`je i Rajkovac. Od 1971. godine Op{tina Mladenovac nalazi se u sastavu Grada Beograda.

In 1919, a merchant from Kova~evac, Nikola \or|evi}, built a mill and, a year later, Sima Jovanovi} from Sopot founded a sack factory. After the relocation of the slaughterhouse to VrĹĄac, in 1926, Janko Bad`ak from Jagnjilo founded an industrial slaughterhouse in 1936.

The industrial development of the borough of Mladenovac was also followed by the development of its administrative function and, in 1930, Mladenovac became the seat of the namesake administrative district to which the Kosmaj administrative district was later annexed as well.

In the period of 1945-1955, the Municipality of Mladenovac consisted of the borough of Mladenovac only and, from 1955 to 1957, the villages of Mladenovac, Me|ulu`je, and Rajkovac were also added to it. As of 1971, the Municipality of Mladenovac is within the City of Belgrade.

CHURCHES AND MONUMENTS The territory of the Municipality of Mladenovac is distinguished for a rich church, artistic, and monument heritage: Church of Dormition of the Mother of God in Mladenovac It was built in 1910, according to the design of Jovan Stanojevi}, but it was consecrated as late as in 1929 after the repair of damages from the First World War. It has three domes and a triconch base and, judging by

Ikonostas od ven~a~kog mermera sa ikonama rad je akademskog slikara Mihaila Milovanovi}a, jednog od najzna~ajnijih srpskih slikara izme|u dva svetska rata. Sve ikone su sa~uvane a jedan broj je delimi~no restauriran 2014. Izlo`ene su u parohijskom domu Mladenova~ke crkve.

Crkva Svetog velikomu~enika Dimitrija u Velikoj Ivan~i Gradwa je zapo~eta 1957, a zavr{ena tek 1970. godine i osve{tana osam godina kasnije. Crkvu je u vizantijsko-gotskom stilu projektovala Marija O{mijanski iz Beograda. U selu, nekih pet stotina metara od crkve, nalaze se ostaci manastira iz prve polovine 14. veka sa o~uvanim temeqima i ~asnom trpezom.

its monumentality, it stands out from other churches in Serbia of the time.

The decorative horizontal facade strips are made modelled after the medieval method of masonry work. The icon screen of Ven~ac marble with icons is the work of the academic painter Mahailo Milovanovi}, one of the most prominent Serbian painters between the two world wars. All the icons have been preserved and a number of them were partially restored in 2014.

They are exhibited in the presbytery of the Mladenovac church.

Church of Saint Demetrius the Great Martyr in Velika Ivan~a Its construction was initiated in 1957, and it was complete as late as in 1970 and was consecrated eight years later. The church in Byzantine and Gothic styles was designed by Marija OĹĄmijanski from Belgrade. In the village, some five hundred meters away from the church, there are the remnants of a monastery from the first half of the 14th century with the preserved foundations and the Table of the Lord.

Church of Nativity of the Most Holy Mother of God in Velika Krsna It was built in 1900, and was consecrated in 1904. It was constructed according to the design which was prepared by the architect DuĹĄan @ivanovi} in 1889. The style characteristics of the plan are the base in the shape of a simple Greek cross, and a slender cube on a round tambour, of accentuated gable facade, quadrifores, arcade friezes, cornices, rosettes, and polygonal shapes of apsides. The author of the icons on the icon screen is Saint Hieromartyr Rafailo (Mom~ilovi}). The icons were restored in the nineties of the 20th century.

Church of Saints Emperor Constantine and Empress Helena in Vlaška It was constructed in 1908 and was consecrated a year later. It is the example of revival of the Morava architectural school tradition by applying the triconch Morava plan and characteristic elevation. The slender cube that marks the actual top of the pyramidal composition dominates the building, particularly in relation to the low, inconspicuous bell tower over the portico.

It is assumed that the icon screen was partly the work of Russian masters. A number of icons were transferred from the icon screen of the old log church erected in 1845.

Church of Venerable Simeon the Stylite in Dubona The frescoes on the walls of this church constructed in 1909 are the work of Vladimir Kidiševi} from the end of the 20th century. They are of outstanding beauty and belong to the very best of the church and artistic creative endeavour of the epoch.

Church of Saint Apostles Peter and Paul in Jagnjilo It was built in 1841, as the endowment of Prince Miloš Obrenovi}, and it has been on the list as the immovable cultural property as a cultural monument since 2010. In the churchyard there are refectories, log houses from the 19th century that served as the venue of gathering of people at the times of various feasts, gatherings or church festivals. They are unique in the entire territory of Belgrade.

At the place of the present-day church there had been a monastery, also dedicated to Apostles Peter and Paul, constructed in the 14th centu-

ry. On the icon screen there are the icons of Janja Moler, of outstanding artistic and historical value. The walls of the church were painted by the painters Vladimir Predojevi} and Zdravko Sekuli} in 1951.

Church of Translation of the Relics of St Nicolas Mirlikian in Kova~evac The construction was initiated in 1939, according to the design of Momir Korunovi}, and was completed in 1962, when it was actually consecrated. It was built in neo-Morava style and has a triconch base in the shape of a well-formed inscribed cross, with a dome above the naos and with two smaller domes above the portico. This church is the last Korunovi}'s monumental sacral building and it is undoubtedly one of the biggest rural churches in Serbia. On the icon screen there are the icons from an older church, which was erected in Kova~evac in 1877.

Church of Descent of Holy Spirit in Kora}ica It was constructed in 1858, when it was actually consecrated. The church is in the Romanesque style, modelled after non-Serbia-Proper churches from that period. It is distinguished for a tall Baroque icon screen from the 19th century, as well as for the painted vault over the naos and the altar semi-arch. The uniform painter's handwriting on the icons of the icon screen and the Table of the Lord, as well as on all the wall compositions, together with in terms of style and decoratively homogeneous wood-carved decoration on marble furnishings is a well-proportioned artistic entirety the authors of which are the members of the painters' Markovi} family, probably Nikola Markovi}, with possible participation of his father Milija.

Crkva Svetog apostola i jevan|eliste Luke u Mladenovcu Nalazi se na gradskom grobqu. Obnovqena je i osve{tana 1992. godine. Crkva je prvobitno (1921) bila kapela porodice Janka Vesi}a Bayaka, da bi posle Drugog svetskog rata bila nacionalizovana.

Crkva Svetog proroka Ilije u Crkvinama Predstavqa nepokretno kulturno dobro, koje u`iva status prethodne za{tite. O postojawu sredwovekovne crkve na ovom mestu ne postoje sigurni podaci.

Church of Saint Joachim and Anne in Me|ulu`je It was consecrated in 2018. It is distinguished for a very lovely stone floor and the icon screen.

Church of Saint Luke the Apostle and Evangelist in Mladenovac It is situated within the borough graveyard. It was restored and consecrated in 1992. The church was initially (in 1921) a chapel of the family of Janko Vesi} Bad`ak, but it was nationalized after the Second World War. Church of Saint Prophet Elijah in Crkvine It is the immovable cultural property, which enjoys the status of preliminary protection. There is no reliable data on the existence of a medieval church at this site. The hypothesis that this is a possibility rests on the record of priest Vuk{a on the monument, the mark of the place of death of Despot Stefan Lazarevi}. In 1876, M. \. Mili}evi}, in his book The Princedom of Serbia, wrote that the present-day hamlet of Crkvine had been formerly called Drvenglava, and then it renamed itself to Crkvine because of the ruins of the old church, which burned down in

1813, on which the present-day one was constructed, in 1841. The restoration of the church started in 1836, and even Prince Milo{ Obrenovi} donated a cash contribution in thalers. The icon screen was made by Dimitrije Posnikovi}, one of the most prominent Serbian icon painters of the 19th century, in 1853/54. Due to numerous earthquakes the church had been severely damaged and, therefore, upon the approval from the church authorities, it was demolished in 1884. In 1886, the present-day temple was constructed in its place, which was consecrated by the Belgrade Metropolite Inokentije (Pavlovi}) on 30 October 1898.

Manastir Pavlovac u Kora}ici Manastir Pavlovac, sa crkvom posve}enom sv. Nikoli nalazi se u kosmajskom selu Kora}ica, kraj Pavlova~kog potoka, po kome je i dobio ime. Podignut je po~etkom 15. veka u vreme vladavine despota Stefana Lazarevi}a, ali je u nauci ime ktitora ostalo nepoznato. Manastir u`iva za{titu dr`ave od 1973. godine i spada u spomenike od velikog kulturnog i istorijskog zna~aja.

Pavlovac Monastery in Kora}ica Pavlovac Monastery, with a church dedicated to St. Nicolas, is situated in Mount Kosmaj village of Kora}ica, by the Pavlovac Brook, which it was actually named after. It was constructed in the beginning of the 15th century at the time of the rule of Despot Stefan Lazarevi} but, in science, the name of the endower has remained unknown. The monastery has been enjoying the protection by the state since 1973 and belongs to the monuments of great cultural and historical importance.

The monastery church was constructed in keeping with the Morava style school. Its base is triconch, with five-sided conchs outside and semi-circular ones inside, an eight-sided dome over the central part of the structure and the portico made at the same time when the naos was actually constructed.

Manastir Pavlovac - crkva svetog Nikole i ostaci profanih gra|evina

Fasadnu dekoraciju ~ine ~etiri prozorska otvora i kamene rozete.

Na~in gradwe pavlova~kog hrama ukazuje na primorski uticaj.

Manastir karakteri{u arhitektonska re{ewa i dekorativna kamena plastika kakva se ne sre}e ~esto u manastirima 15. veka na prostoru Srbije. Upotreba belog mermera u enterijeru svedo~i o bogatstvu crkve. Najupe~atqiviji arhitektonski detaq crkve je izdu`ena kupola koja doprinosi wenoj monumentalnosti, a izdvaja se od kupola drugih crkava sli~nog obima s po~etka 15. veka i ima direktnu analogiju sa kupolom crkve u manastiru Manasiji.

Druga osobenost manastirskog kompleksa je da on pored trpezarije sa mona{kim kelijama i kuhiwe, ima i tre}i objekat koji se sastoji od prizemqa i sprata, severno od crkve.

Na osnovu o~uvanih arhitektonskih elemenata, smatra se da je imao rezidencijalni karakter i da ga je verovatno koristio despot Stefan Lazarevi}. Manastir je bio jedan od centara pismenosti sredwovekovne Srbije u kosmajskoj oblasti.

Manastirski kompleks je ostao u ru{evinama do 1968. kada su zapo~eta sistematska arheolo{ka istra`ivawa. Do 1973. konzervirani su otkriveni ostaci profanih gra|evina i obnovqena je crkva. Posle opse`nih konzervatorsko-restauratorskih radova, oko 2000. godine crkvi je vra}ena prvobitna namena.

Lokalitet "Manastir" u Velikoj Ivan~i Lokalitet "Manastir" le`i u severnom delu sela Velika Ivan~a. Na zaravni, izme|u reke Besne, potoka To~ka i bezimenog ogranka Kosmaja, arheolo{kim iskopavawima 1984. i 1985. godine delimi~no su istra`eni ostaci crkve. Ona je jednobrodna gra|evina, pravougaone osnove, spoqnih dimenzija 13,30 h 6,80 m, sa plitkom polukru`nom oltarskom apsidom.

Objekat je o{te}en potkopavawem vode potoka To~ka, kao i savremenim zemqanim iskopom.

Crkva je verovatno bila zasvedena poluobli~astim svodom i sa krovom na dve vode. Pravougaoni centralni travej ukazuje da mo`da nije imala kupolu. I danas se u oltarskoj apsidi nalazi u celini o~uvana ~asna trpeza. Arheolo{ka iskopavawa nisu pokazala postojawe drugih objekata, pa je zakqu~eno da je crkva imala obele`je seoske crkve.

facade decoration consists of four window openings and stone rosettes. The method of construction of Pavlovac temple indicates the coastal influence.

The monastery is distinguished for the architectural solutions and decorative stone plastic art of the kind that is not often encountered in the monasteries of the 15th century in the territory of Serbia. The use of white marble in the interior is the evidence of the wealth of the church. The most impressive architectural detail of the church is the elongated dome, which contributes to its monumentality, and it stands out from the domes of other churches of similar size from the beginning of the 15th century and it is directly analogous to the dome of the church within Manasija Monastery.

The second peculiarity of the monastery complex is that, in addition to the refectory with monks' cells and the kitchen, it also has the third building, which consists of the ground floor and the first floor, to the north of the church. Based on the preserved architectural elements, it is deemed that it had the residential character and that it was probably used by Despot Stefan Lazarevi}. The monastery was one of the centres of literacy of the medieval Serbia in the Mount Kosmaj region.

The monastery complex had remained in ruins up to 1968, when the systematic archaeological explorations were initiated. Up to 1973, the discovered remnants of profane buildings had been conserved and the church had been restored. After extensive conservation and restoration works, the church was restored for its original use in around 2000.

Monastery site in Velika Ivan~a The Monastery site is situated in the northern part of the village of Velika Ivan~a. On a terrace, between the Besna River, the To~ka Brook, and a nameless spur of Mount Kosmaj, by archaeological excavations, in 1984 and 1985, the remnants of the church were partly explored. It is a single-aisle structure, of a rectangular base, of outer dimensions of 13.30 x 6.80 m, with a shallow semi-circular altar apsis. The facility has been damaged by undercutting by the water of the To~ka Brook, as well as by contemporary earth excavation.

The church was probably vaulted with a semi-circular vault and with a gable roof. The rectangular central trave indicates that maybe it did not have a dome at all. Even nowadays, in the altar apsis, there is a completely preserved Table of the Lord. Archaeological excavations did not reveal the existence of other facilities and, therefore, it was concluded that it had the character of a rural church.

Na osnovu rezultata dobijenih arheolo{kim istra`ivawima i dosada{wih saznawa iz istorijskih izvora, nije poznato kome je crkva bila posve}aena i ko je bio wen ktitor. Po obliku osnove, ona se mo`e svrstati u tip mawih jednobrodnih gra|evina s unutra{wim prostorom podeqenim na tri traveja.

Teritorijalno je najbli`a crkvama sv. \or|a na lokalitetu Kastaqan i sv. Arhan|ela u kompleksu manastira Tresije, zbog ~ega se weno podizawe vezuje za po~etak 15. veka.

Spomenik na mestu smrti despota Stefana Lazarevi}a Spomenik sa zapisom o smrti despota Stefana Lazarevi}a postavqen je 1427. u porti crkve Svetog proroka Ilije u zaseoku Crkvine, delu sela Markovca, Op{tina Mladenovac. Spomenik je u formi obeliska od ugla~anog belog mermera, visine 186 cm, {irine 68 cm i debqine 26 cm.

Kako bi se sa~uvalo se}awe na trenutak upokojewa cewenog vladara, postavqen je kameni beleg na samom mestu (zvanom "Glava") gde je despot pao sa kowa, u neposrednoj blizini crkve ~iji je bio ktitor. Opra{taju}i se od svog gospodara, najbli`i saradnici, koji su se u trenutku nesre}e i nalazili u wegovoj sviti, podigli su mu spomenik u obliku obeliska od ven~a~kog mermera, ispisuju}i poruke odanosti i po{tovawa.

Based on the results obtained by archaeological explorations and the so-far data from historical sources, it is not known to whom the church was dedicated and who its endower was. Judging by the shape of its base, it can be classified among the type of smaller single-aisle buildings with the interior space divided into three traves. It is territorially closest to the churches of St. George at Kastaljan site and of St. Archangels within the complex of Tresije Monastery, due to which its construction is linked to the beginning of the 15th century.

The memorial at the place of death of Despot Stefan Lazarevi} The monument with the record about the death of Despot Stefan Lazarevi} was erected in 1427 in the yard of the Church of Saint Prophet Elijah in the hamlet of Crkvine, a part of the village of Markovac, the Municipality of Mladenovac. The monument is in the form of an obelisk of polished white marble, 186 cm tall, 68 cm wide, and 26 cm thick..

In order to keep the memory of the moment of passing away of the esteemed ruler alive, a stone mark was put up at the actual place (called Glava (i.e. Head)) where Despot had fallen from the horse, in the close vicinity of the church he was the founder of. Parting from their ruler, the closest aides, who were in his entourage at the moment of the misfortune, erected a monument to him in the shape of an obelisk of Ven~ac marble, writing out on it the messages of loyalty and respect. The monument was

je podigao \ura| Zubrovi}, vlastelin iz oblasti kojoj je pripadao zaselak Glava i vitez iz despotove svite.

Najlep{i zapis preminulom despotu ispisan je u formi epitafa na ~eonoj strani spomenika. Uz epitaf, kako je to bio obi~aj u sredwovekovnoj Srbiji, urezana je predstava Hristovog krsta na Golgoti, ~ija je simbolika u direktnoj vezi sa temom stradalni{tva i mu~eni{tva, kao i ne~itka predstava jelena.

Sli~ne predstave stilizovanog jelena nalaze se na ~asnoj trpezi manastira sv. \or|a na lokalitetu Kastaqan i na nadvratniku ulaza u manastir Pavlovac. O wihovoj simbolici i tome ko ih je i kada urezao, nema pouzdanih tuma~ewa.

Jedinstven po svom sadr`aju i funkciji, spomenik predstavqa va`no svedo~anstvo za prou~avawe istorije, umetnosti i kwi`evnosti sredwovekovnog Beograda i Srbije, i jedan od najstarijih i najzna~ajnijih spomenika balkanskog kulturnog nasle|a. Spomenik je 1979. godine progla{en za kulturno dobro od izuzetnog zna~aja.

Na ~eonoj, zapadnoj strani spomenika, nalazi se epitaf: Ja, despot Stefan, sin svetoga kneza Lazara i po predstavqawu toga milo{}u Bo`jom bih gospodin svim Srbima i Podunavqu i Posavqu i delu ugarske zemqe i bosanske a jo{ i Primorju zetskom. I u bogodanoj mi vlasti provodih `ivota mojega vreme koliko blagomu izvoli se Bogu, godina oko 38. I tako do|e meni zapovest op{ta od cara svih i Boga, govore}i poslani k meni an|eo: Idi! I tako du{a moja od ubogog mi razlu~i se tela na mestu zvanom Glava, godine tada teku}e 6000 i 900 i 30 i 5 indikata 5 suncu krug 19 i lune 19, meseca jula 19 dan.

Spomen-kosturnica Tokom 1929. posmrtni ostaci poginulih vojnika sa prostora bitke u Varovnici, wih oko osam stotina, preba~eni su u ozidanu spomen-kosturnicu na mladenova~kom grobqu. Re~ je o vojnicima Timo~ke divizije I poziva, Moravske divizije I pozi-

erected by \ura| Zubrovi}, a squire from the area to which the hamlet of Glava belonged and a knight from Despot's entourage.

The most beautiful record to the deceased Despot is written out in the form of an epitaph on the front side of the monument. Along with the epitaph, as it was the custom in the medieval Serbia, a presentation of Christ's cross on Golgotha is engraved, the symbolism of which is directly linked to the theme of suffering and martyrdom, as well as an illegible presentation of a deer. Similar presentations of a stylized deer are on the Table of the Lord of the monastery of St. George at Kastaljan site and on the door lintel of Pavlovac Monastery. There are no authentic interpretations of their symbolism and of who and when engraved them.

Unique in its contents and function, the monument is an important testimony for the studying of history, arts, and literature of the medieval Belgrade and Serbia, and it is one of the oldest and most important monuments of the Balkan cultural heritage. In 1979, the monument was declared the cultural property of outstanding importance.

On the front, western side of the monument, there is the epitaph: I, Despot Stefan, the son of Saint Prince Lazar and upon his presentation by the mercy of God I became the master to all Serbs and to the Danube Basin and the Sava River Basin and to a part of the Hungarian land and the Bosnian one and also in Zeta Littoral. And in my God-given reign I spent my lifetime as gracious God condescended, around 38 years. And so I got the general order from the king of all and God, by the angel sent to me saying: Go! And thus my soul departed my poor body at the place called Glava, in the then current year 6000 and 900 and 30 and 5 Indictions 5 solar rotations 19 and moon ones 19, in the month of July on the 19th day.

Spomen-kosturnica nije zavr{ena, a po~etak Drugog svetskog rata prekinuo je planove Mladenov~ana da se na postamentu izgradi kapela. Napravqena u vidu kamenog, stepenastog platoa, kvadratne osnove, kosturnica je, zapravo, zami{qena kao deo slo`enog projekta koji je podrazumevao i kapelu iznad we, memorijalnog i kultnog karaktera. Projekat kapele rad je ruskog arhitekte Vasilija Mihajlovi~a Androsova, koji je uradio dva idejna re{ewa za budu}u kapelu, prvo 1932. i drugo, neznatno izmeweno, 1940. Imala je oblik maweg neo-vizantijskog hrama, sa te`wom da se oblikom ve`e za srpsku sredwovekovnu arhitekturu. Na inicijativu mladenova~kog Dru{tva za negovawe tradicije oslobodila~kih ratova 1912-1918, u toku je izrada planova za zavr{etak izrade Spomen-kosturnice. Najnoviji projekat je ura|en na osnovu sa~uvane dokumentacije i sadr`i sve elemente projekta iz 1940. godine.

The Memorial Ossuary was not finished, and the break out of the Second World War interrupted the plans of Mladenovac inhabitants to build a chapel on the pedestal. Made in the shape of a stone, stepped plateau, of a square base, the ossuary was actually devised as a part of a complex design, which also implied a chapel above it, of memorial and cultic character. The design of the chapel is the work of the Russian architect Vasily Mikhailovich Androsov, who prepared two conceptual designs for the future chapel, the first one in 1932, and the second, slightly modified, in 1940. It had the shape of a smaller neo-Byzantine temple, with the aspiration to link it by its shape to the Serbian medieval architecture.

On the initiative of the Mladenovac Society Nurturing the Tradition of Liberation Wars of 1912-1918, the plans are being drawn up for the completion of the execution of the Memorial Ossuary. The latest design has been prepared on the basis of the preserved documentation and it contains all the elements of the design from 1940.

marble panel with a rounded upper part, placed in the centre. On the marble panel, the inscription is chiselled in the English and the Serbian languages: "1915 - In memory of the Sanitary mission of Scottish women to Serbia and its founder Dr Elsie Inglis - erected by II res. Mladenovac hospital. Built by the soldiers of the Morava Division, the conscripts of the first call-up under the leadership of res. Capt. I class Bor. Popovi}". The Drinking Fountain was constructed of concrete, brick, and marble.

The Drinking Fountain was restored in 1985 when the surrounding space was also landscaped. In 2009, showing the gratitude and respect to Dr Inglis and medical nurses, the City Municipality of Mladenovac named the new civic auditorium in the centre of the borough after the brave doctor from Scotland.

In 1981, the Drinking Fountain was declared the immovable cultural property, the cultural monument in the territory of the City of Belgrade.

Varovnice Memorial Complex On the peak of Varovnice, 10 km away from Mladenovac, on the area where a battle was waged within the Battle of Kolubara in the First World War, a monument was erected in 1984, and a memorial complex was developed with stone obelisks on the slopes.

The memorial complex includes the monument to the soldiers fallen during the Battle of Varovnice from 6 to 10 December 1914. It is surrounded by other memorials and trenches, some of which are visible even nowadays.

The monument is dedicated to the memory of the Serbian soldiers, mainly the conscripts of the third call-up from the village of Mladenovac, who in a gallant action, with heavy loss of life, managed to stop by far stronger enemy and, with their victory, to contribute to the successful finalization of the Battle of Kolubara.

Na mawe od sat vremena vo`we kolima od Beograda, predstavqa mesto koje stanovnici prestonice ~esto biraju za dnevne izlete. ^itav pejza` je pod vegetacijom. Strmije strane obrasle su {umom, prete`no bukovom i hrastovom, a mestimi~no i ~etinarskom. Blage padine su pod travnatom vegetacijom, a podno`je pod vo}wacima i wivama, dok su zaravni uglavnom sa proplancima. Na Kosmaju ima i razne divqa~i od zna~aja za lovni turizam (ze~evi, srne, fazani, jarebice, lisice i prepelice, a nekada davno i jeleni). @ivi svet Kosmaja ~ini: 550 vrsta biqaka sa dosta reliktnih, subendemnih i retkih vrsta; 300 vrsta gqiva; 24 vrste herpetofaune; 51 vrsta sisara; 96 vrsta ptica; veliki broj

The earliest beginnings of the development of economy are linked to the actual emergence of the borough by the end of the 19th century. In the beginning of the last century, major industrial capacities were constructed, first of all in the foodstuffs and textile industries, and Mladenovac undergoes a stronger economic development in the second half of the 20th century. In the beginning of the 90-ties of the last century, Mladenovac economy employed around 15,000 inhabitants of Mladenovac and surrounding municipalities. Economy was the backbone of accelerated development of the borough, both in the field of housing construction and utilities infrastructure, and in the areas of education, health care, culture, and sports.

Krajem pro{log veka zbog poznatih de{avawa u Srbiji i regionu, dolazi do stagnacije privrednih aktivnosti i broja zaposlenih. Tokom procesa privatizacije po~etkom ovog veka privreda je dodatno devastirana, a broj zaposlenih pao je na nivo 50-ih godina pro{log veka.

Zahvaquju}i preduzetni~kom duhu jednog broja Mladenov~ana i podsticajnim sredstvima dr`ave, posledwih desetak godina mladenova~ka privreda se postepeno revitalizuje i vra}a ne samo na srpsko, ve} i na me|unarodno tr`i{te.

Ponovo se javqaju privredni subjekti koji svojim proizvodnim programom, kvalitetom proizvoda, brojem zaposlenih i marketin{kim aktivnostima, postaju lideri mladenova~ke privrede, a u perspektivi i okosnica razvoja grada.

S obzirom na odli~an geografski polo`aj, prirodne resurse, bogato kulturno istorijsko nasle|e, status bawskog mesta i rast kapaciteta za sme{taj i ishranu, Mladenovac svoj razvoj u narednom periodu vidi i kroz razvoj turizma.

POQOPRIVREDA Na teritoriji Op{tine raspolo`ivog poqoprivrednog zemqi{ta ima 26.373 hektara, od ~ega se koristi 19.376 hektara koje obra|uje 5.221 gazdinstvo.

Zbog povoqnih prirodnih i ekonomskih uslove za poqoprivrednu proizvodwu, ova grana privrede je u dosada{wem razvoju op{tine bila jedna od va`nijih, posebno sto~arstvo, vo}arstvo, ali i proizvodwa `itarica.

Najzna~ajniji element u razvoju poqoprivrede je saobra}ajna infrastruktura, neposredna blizina autoputa E - 75, deonica Beograd - Ni{, i pruge na koridoru 10, Beograd - Ni{ - Sofija. Kqu~ni generator razvoja je blizina Beograda sa svojim kapacitetima i potencijalima ogromnog tr`i{ta.

By the end of the last century due to the notorious developments in Serbia and the region, economic activities and the number of employees were in stagnation. During the process of privatization in the beginning of this century, the economy was additionally devastated, and the number of employees plummeted to the level of the 50-ties of the last century.

Thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of a number of Mladenovac inhabitants and the state incentive funds, in some ten past years, Mladenovac economy is gradually being revitalized and coming back not only to the Serbian, but also to the international market.

Again, the economic operators are emerging, which judging by their production programmes, quality of products, the number of employees and marketing activities, are becoming the leaders of Mladenovac economy, and hopefully in the future the backbone of the development of the borough.

In view of the excellent geographical position, natural resources, rich cultural and historical heritage, the status of the spa resort and the growth of accommodation and catering capacities, in the forthcoming period, Mladenovac also looks upon its development through the development of tourism.

AGRICULTURE In the territory of the Municipality, there are 26,373 hectares of available agricultural land, out of which 19,376 hectares are used, which are cultivated by 5,221 households.

Due to favourable natural and economic conditions for agricultural production, this branch of economy has been one of the rather important branches in the so-far development of the Municipality, particularly cattle breeding, fruit growing, as well as the production of cereals.

The most important element in the development of agriculture is the road infrastructure, close vicinity of E - 75 highway, Belgrade - NiĹĄ section, and the railway line on Corridor 10, Belgrade - NiĹĄ - Sophia. The key generator of development is the vicinity of Belgrade with its capacities and potentials of a huge market.

CROP AND VEGETABLE GROWING

3. Ratarska prizvodwa je najzastupqenija

Fields and gardens cover 78% of the total area, so that crop production is most common in this area. Out of cereals, maize (49%), wheat (33%), barley, and common rye are mostly grown.

Out of fodder crops, maize for silage, clover, alfalfa, and a mixture of grasses are mostly grown.

Vegetable cultures, which are mostly grown in the territory of the Municipality, are tomato, cabbage, pepper, onion, and garlic. Lately, the production of vegetables in a protected space has been increasing (tomato, lettuce, cucumber, pepper), which has a positive impact on the development of this production through the increased yield, offer, and profitability.

More recently, there has been a great interest in organic production so that, in the territory of the Municipality, there are three eco-farms with certified organic production and several producers in the process of conversion.

FRUIT AND WINE-GROWING Fruit growing is a very important and the most cost-effective branch of production. Mladenovac has natural preconditions for the development of fruit production, with the influence of favourable climatic conditions, the layout of the terrain, and good insolation.

From the statistics point of view, 59% of fruit production account for intensive plantations. Fruit growers who have plantations achieve high yields and a satisfactory quality of fruits. However, frequent natural disasters (drought, hail, abundant rainfall) in the past several years had a very negative impact on fruit production. This leads to the conclusion that it is necessary to make bigger investments in the infrastructure, first of all in the irrigation and hailstorm defence systems. The lack of organized buying up and processing capacities is evident although there is a good basis for the construction of a factory for fruit processing into final products (juices, jam, etc.) because there are sufficient quantities of raw materials.
