Mitrovo Brdo

Braće Jerković or colloquially Jerković (Serbian Cyrillic: Браће Јерковић or Јерковић, pronounced [brât͡ɕɛː jɛ̌ːrkɔv̞it͡ɕ]) is an urban neighborhood of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. It is located in Belgrade's municipality of Voždovac.

Braće Jerković is located between the valleys of the former creeks of Kumodraški potok and Mokroluški potok. It borders the neighborhoods of Marinkova Bara (north), Dušanovac (north-west), Voždovac (west), Medaković II (north-east), Padina (east), while in the south it extends into the neighborhood of Braće Jerković II. It is bounded by the elbow-shaped street of the same name (on the west and south) and the street of Ignjata Joba (on the east). Northern border to Dušanovac and Marinkova Bara, just as it case with many neighborhoods of Belgrade, can not be clearly established, though majority of city maps place it between the Darvinova and Ignjata Joba streets.

The name of the neighborhood means "Jerković Brothers" and it was named after two brothers, fighters during the World War II, who were both killed in 1941. Nebojša (1912-41), commander of the Mačva partisan detachment, and Dušan Jerković (1914–41), commander of the Užice partisan detachment, were both teachers. Dušan was killed during the Battle of Kadinjača, in November 1941, and was declared a National Hero of Yugoslavia. A street, today central one in the neighborhood, was named in their honor in 1946 so as the neighborhood which later developed around it.
