Sinan-paša Sijerčić


Sinan-paša Sijerčić was an Ottoman Pasha from the Bosnia Eyalet, who governed the area of Goražde and its surroundings, and also Pljevlja as mütesellim. He died while commanding the Ottoman Army in the Battle of Mišar against Serbian revolutionaries in mid-August 1806, being slain by Luka Lazarević. He descended from a Bosnian Serb family, the Šijernić. He helped reconstruct the Serbian Orthodox Herzog's Church in Goražde, where his grandfather Radoslav had been buried.
