Biography
Joksim Milosavljević was born in Preljina Baluza in 1781. He was proclaimed a duke (voivode) as a brave insurgent in Karađorđe's army. In the Second Serbian Uprising, he was among the first to place himself under the command of Miloš Obrenović and take part in the fighting. In 1817, Prince Miloš appointed him the head of the Poreč nahija, and in 1821 the deputy of the Požarevac nahija. Later, he was transferred to Brusnica, then to Čačak, from where he was returned to Požarevac and appointed the great serdar of the Danube region.

Long after the revolution in Serbia, Joksim Milosavljević is mentioned in 1825 as the Moravian captain of the Požarevac nahija and again in an 1830 report. Captain Joksim Milosavljević, who had previously passed through Hasan Pasha's Kriva Palanka, reports in 1830 from Smederevo that he left for Belgrade with 125 soldiers for the ceremony on the occasion of the reading of the Hatt-i humayun, also known as Hatisherif, on St. Andrew the First-Called. That ceremony ushered Serbia's status as an autonomous state within the Ottoman Empire under the rule of Prince Miloš Obrenović. Milosavljević remained a true friend of Prince Miloš until his death.

Joksim "Joksa" Milosavljević died in Požarevac on 18 March 1837.
