Cvetko Popović-Vranovački ( Serbian Cyrillic: Цветко Поповић - Врановачки; around 1775 - Kopaj Košare near Niš, 20 May 1809) was a merchant and a Chetnik commander ( voivode) in the army of Karađorđe's Serbia during the First Serbian Uprising. [1]
Cvetko Popović was born in Donje Vranovce near Lebane not far from Leskovac around 1775. He was a respectable merchant and a mechanic in his area [2]. He was the leader of the Jablanica insurgents in the First Serbian Uprising and Karađorđe's highest-ranking Bimbaša, together with Ilija Strelja and Sava Dedobarac. During the First Serbian Uprising, he had about seven hundred armed men from this area under his command. Cvetko was a fearless opponent of the Turks and Arnauts and initiated the restoration of the church in his area, by gathering around him a large number of devout Christians skilled in masonry, who renovated the church and gathered a large number of young people with weapons who defended the work on the church from the enemy day and night. [3]
He was killed fighting the Turks near Kopaj Košare near Niš, on 20 May 1809.
