Biography

Janko Đurđević was born around 1770 in Konjska Reka, near Bajina Bašta, Serbia, at a time when, during Karađorđe's Serbia, it was part of the Danube principality of the Smederevo nahija. He was a legal advisor during the time of Karađorđe. In 1813, he fled to Austria and then emigrated to Imperial Russia where he died in 1828.[1]

His contemporaries, Vuk Karadžić,[2] Matija Nenadović,[1] and Lazar Arsenijević[3] mention him in their respective memoirs.

His son Paun Janković (1808-1865)[4] was acting Prime Minister of Serbia in 1840.
