217th anniversary of Battle of Ivankovac marked



A delegation from the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces has laid a wreath today at the monument to Milenko Stojković at “Šančevi na Ivankovcu” (Ivankovac Trenches) memorial park near Ćuprija to mark the 217th anniversary of the Battle of Ivankovac.
The Battle of Ivankovac, which took place on August 18, 1805, is one of the greatest and most important victories of Karađorđe’s rebels led by Milenko Stojković during the entire period of the First Serbian Uprising. It is at the same time a shining example of a tactically well-designed and accomplished military operation.  Winning the victory in the famous Battle of Ivankovac, the Serbian rebels set an example by demonstrating outstanding courage and patriotism.
