  • The idea of a new uprising against the Turks never disappeared. It was given even more life by Turkish violence and the frequent spread of news about the possibility of Austria going to war with Turkey
  • Because of this, the conflict with the escort of the district chief Agha Latif in the village of Trnava near Čačak turned into Hadži-Prodan’s rebellion at the end of September 1814.
  • Unexpected, without thorough preparation, and at an unsuitable time of year for the months of fighting that lay ahead, this rebellion had little chance of success and remained largely local
  • The Turks suffocated it without much effort, savagely sanctifying the people of Požega and Kragujevac, who were the main contributors to this revolt
