The Siege of Smederevo was undertaken by the Serbian rebel army led by Karađorđe and Jakov Nenadović 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.
