Jevta Savić Čotrić (Serbian Cyrillic: Јевта Савић-Чотрић; Tršić around 1767 - Šabac, 1821) was a Serbian politician, national leader and diplomat from the time of the First Serbian Uprising and Second Serbian Uprising.[1]He was a well-educated older cousin of Vuk Karadžić and with him, Vuk Karadžić "began to study books".[2][3]
Biography
Jevta Savić Čotrić was an educatd and respected man even before the uprising. With Anta Bogićević, and with Karađorđe's approval, he concluded a well-known contract with Mehmed-pasha Vidajić.[4][5]
In 1807 he was elected a member of the Governing Council in Belgrade. Ivan Jugović opened the nucleus of what eventually became the Grandes écoles (Velika škola) in the fledgling premises of his big house. In 1812, he was appointed elder of Kladovo and Brza Palanka. He unsuccessfully negotiated peace with the Turks in 1813. In 1814, he "appeared before the Austrian emperor in Vienna with Archbishop Mateja Nenadović and prayed that any relief would be given to the people in Serbia."[6]
He returned to Serbia in 1815 and settled in Šabac, where he died in 1821. He was buried in the family tomb at the Šabac cemetery. Vuk Karadžić wrote in his memoirs that Jevta was a far more accomplished writer than some of his contemporaries in the Governing Council.[7]
