Orašac Assembly
The Orašac Assembly was the gathering of 300 Serbian chiefs and rebels on at Orašac, a village near Aranđelovac, following the "Slaughter of the Knezes" which saw 70 notable Serbs murdered by the renegade Janissaries in January which prompted the Serbs to rise up against the tyranny, resulting in the First Serbian Uprising against the Ottoman Empire. Karađorđe was appointed leader of the Serbian rebels after they all raised their "three fingers in the air" and thereby swore Oath. The site of the assembly, Marićevića jaruga, is today a memorial complex.
