Konda Bimbaša
Konda (Serbian Cyrillic: Конда, ca. 1770–1813) was a Serbian revolutionary, a member of Uzun-Mirko Apostolović's detachment. Born in Ioannina, Konda was a Greek-Aromanian, who came to Serbia (the Sanjak of Smederevo) as a member of janissary Alija Gušanac's mercenaries (krdžalije), alongside Papazogli (another revolutionary), however, during the First Serbian Uprising (1804–13), he joined the Serb rebels.[1] Wearing the Ottoman uniform, he opened the Sava kapija to the Belgrade Fortress, allowing the rebels to besiege Belgrade (1806), finally liberating it in 1807. He rose through the rebel ranks, and was awarded the title of buljubaša, then bimbaša, hence, he is most often known as Konda Bimbaša (Конда Бимбаша).
