Highlanders, who would not have survived if they had not gotten used to the harsh living conditions. In Dobroselica near Rekovac, we find a tombstone of Veselin Ilić on which it says “live 130 years, stop on April 5, 1845.”
– I don’t know if it’s a legend or a reality, but the elders told me that the man came from Ibarski Kolašin on a white horse and that he was all bloody. He hid in our town, where he got married. He was 2 meters and 80 centimeters tall! This is confirmed by the size of his grave. Many have lived the ninety years here, and now there is no one to live – says Stojadin Zivkovic Coja (61).

He and his brother Miladin (67) are the only inhabitants of the village of Osredak in the village of Dobroselice, which is 25 kilometers from Kragujevac, Kraljevo and Jagodina, where the bus never passed, because it is inaccessible to everyone except the all terrain vehicles.
Stojadin worked in Zastava de Kragujevac and went to the village in 1999 to care for his sick brother. Although he himself is ill, having surgery for throat cancer, which makes the story difficult, Stojadin is very talkative, full of optimism and always ready to joke.

Another rarity is the threshing and scraping machine, which has been in his family for about seventy years. His grandfather Velimir acquired it in Vojvodina after the end of the Second World War. Stojadin calls it Schliter, because it is a German machine, produced by Anton Schlitter’s factory in Munich, founded in 1898.

– The machine was used by my uncle until 1989. Now it serves as a support for the Serbian flag. Just to find out who won, Stojadin jokes.
