Jakov Nenadović (Serbian Cyrillic: Јаков Ненадовић; 1765–1836) was a Serbian voivode and politician who served as the prime minister of Serbia from 31 December 1810 to 22 January 1811. He was the first Serbian interior minister. Nenadović was the most influential figure in Serbia at the time beside Karađorđe, his greatest rival, and Janko Katić.[1]

Life

Jakov was the younger brother of

Slaughter of the Dukes on January 31, 1804, which sparked the First Serbian Uprising
.

Jakov immediately joined the Serbian rebels, and after the victory in Svileuva (1804) he became one of the most distinguished commanders and persons of western Serbia.

Prota Mateja Nenadović, his nephew (the son of Aleksa), was the first Prime Minister. He headed the government of Serbia
from 1810 to 1811.

In 1813, for the purpose of armory, a tower bearing the Nenadović name was built next to a road leading to

St. Peterburg to confer with Tsar Alexander I of Russia over the state of affairs in the Balkans, then re-occupied by the Ottoman Turks. Later on, he settled in Vienna, where he died in 1836. His granddaughter, Persida Nenadović (the daughter of Jevrem), married Alexander Karađorđević, Prince of Serbia
, the son of Karadjordje.
