The Siege of Smederevo was undertaken by the Serbian rebel army led by KaraÃÂorÃÂe and Jakov NenadoviÃÂ against the town of Smederevo, in the hands of the Dahije (renegade Janissaries) supported by the Sanjak of Vidin. Smederevo was an important city in the province, laying in just east of Belgrade. Left without support, the town surrendered after some days and was handed over to the Serbs with the agreed emigration of the Muslim population to Adakale or Vidin.
During the Slaughter of the Knezes, the Smederevo Turks under dizdar Guà ¡o murdered militia buljubaà ¡a Teofan from Saone. During the meeting at Drlupa, the Smederevo nahiya Serbs gathered at Selevac and elected merchant ÃÂuà ¡a VuliÃÂeviàtheir leader. After rebel leader KaraÃÂorÃÂe met with Belgrade nahiya leaders in late February and organized the blockade of Belgrade, he went to the Smederevo nahiya and met with ÃÂuà ¡a VuliÃÂeviàand hajduk harambaà ¡a Obrad from Krsna, and organized the blockade of Smederevo. When KaraÃÂorÃÂe met with ÃÂuà ¡a, the Smederevo Turks moved their families from the Smederevo town for safety in the Smederevo Fortress, while the Serbs sent their families into the hills. Skirmishes followed, in and outside Smederevo, between beÃÂari ("bachelors", youngsters) and the Smederevo Turks.
KaraÃÂorÃÂe and Jakov Nenadoviàcombined their armies, accompanied by some lesser commanders, and aided Milenko StojkoviÃÂ's siege of Poà ¾arevac, arriving in late May with a cannon that they had used in the siege of à  abac, and the city surrendered after some days. KaraÃÂorÃÂe stayed and organized the Poà ¾arevac nahija for a couple of days, and recognized Milenko, Dobrnjac and Momir as knezes in the nahija. The Poà ¾arevac nahija army was ordered to support the siege of Belgrade, while KaraÃÂorÃÂe took the à  umadija and Podrinje troops towards Smederevo.
KaraÃÂorÃÂe arrived at the height above Smederevo from the Poà ¾arevac road and shot some cannonballs at the fortress, upon which the Turks immediately signaled for surrender, on the condition that they receive the same status as à  abac, as an Imperial city. According to another version, as told by Gavrilo KovaÃÂeviÃÂ, the rebels took the city through an assault on . The dating of the takeover by KovaÃÂeviàwas held as possible per S. NovakoviÃÂ's study (1904) of the traditional sources, however, V. StojanÃÂevià(1957) dated it to 4 June. Similarly to Poà ¾arevac, the Turks were frightened by the use of cannons. They promised to follow whatever would happen to Belgrade in the future (it was encircled and blocked). KaraÃÂorÃÂe approved the Imperial status of the fortress and decided that the Turks live only in the fortress, and be left alone, but were forbidden to go among the Serbs in the villages or the Smederevo town (outside the fortress), which they promised. The Muslim judicial court only deals with the Smederevo Turks while the Serbian court deals with the Serbs. All of this was in line with the rebels' claim to not go against the Sultan's people. The rebels received some payment and gifts, as war payment. The known evildoers in Smederevo were given up to the rebels and executed, while other yabancñ (foreigners) were dispersed. Upon this, ÃÂuà ¡a VuliÃÂeviàbecame the stareà ¡ina (leader) of all of the rebel Smederevo nahija.
After Poà ¾arevac and Smederevo, only Belgrade remained in the north of the Belgrade Pashalik. KaraÃÂorÃÂe, Jakov and Milenko went to VraÃÂar.
