Apostolović, Uzun-Mirko (Smrdljikovac around 1782 - Belgrade 1868)
His father and grandfather were killed fighting in Austrian army.
His mother fled to Srem and later returned to Serbia, to Mislođin in
district of Belgrade. Mirko was learning for tailor, and joined
Stanoje Glavaš
before insurrection
. He distinguished himself in
battle of Karanovac (Kraljevo - 1805), where he was wounded. During
the attack on Belgrade (1806) he rushed into town with Konda Bimbaša
and other three associates, and opened the Sava gate to the
insurrectors. After the collapse of insurrection he had escaped from
the country, but before long he returned and took part in the
Second Serbian Insurrection
(battles of Lipar, Čačak, and Dublje).

Obrenović assigned him as customs officer at
Višnjica

also decorated with Montenegrin golden medal of Obilić. He has got a
nick-name Uzun (tur. - tall) due to his stature.
