Damnjan Nedić also spelled Damjan Nedić (Osečina, Kolubara District, Serbia, 1772 - Čokešina, Municipality of Loznica, Serbia, 1804) is remembered as a heroic figure along with his brother Gligorije Nedić as well as Damnjan Kotešanin and Panta Damnjanović who with their respective companies of hajduk četas fell in the Battle of Čokešina[1] during Karađorđe's Serbia.[2][3]

Legacy

In Serbian history, he is one of three Nedić brothers, two of whom perished at the Battle of Čokešina on Lazarus Saturday in 1804 to a numerically superior Turkish army when they attacked the Serbian monastery where 300 young haiduks met their fate. German historian Leopold von Ranke called it the Serbian Thermopylae.[4] Later, the surviving brother Mihajlo Nedić who was stationed elsewhere during the Battle of Čokešina was killed in another battle in 1809.

A street in Belgrade is named after the two brothers.[5]
