The Serbian Governing Council, the first executive authority during the uprising in Serbia and the forerunner of the modern Government of the Republic of Serbia, was established on 27 August 1805, at the home of Knyaz Sima Marković in the village of Veliki Borak near Barajevo. The establishment of the Council was one of the most significant moves by the Karađorđe-led uprising champions, all with the aim of gradually establishing an executive power in a state that was being born.
