Milojević ([[Crna Bara (Bogatić)|Crna Bara]], [[Principality of Serbia]], 16 October 1840 - [[Belgrade]], [[Kingdom of Serbia]], 24 June 1897) was a Serbian [[historian]], [[politician]] and [[writer]].
[[Janko Veselinović (writer)|Janko Veselinović]], a writer, wrote the novel [[Hajduk Stanko: historical novel]] in three parts, in 1896, with the action taking place in the [[Black Bar (Bogatić)|Montenegro Bari]]
During the [[First World War]], Crna Bara was the scene of enormous defense works put in place by the [[Serbian Army]] to disrupt the invasion by [[Austria-Hungary]]. The peninsula-shaped floodplain due west of Crna Bara lying and north of the confluence of the Drina and Sava rivers is called the ''Parasnica'' and was surrounded on three sides by enemy territory. The Serbians constructed hundreds of miles of trenches in an area of only two and a half square miles to defend the route into Crna Bara and beyond. Although the Parasnica resisted all attempts at seizure in August and September 1914, the Austrians successfully bypassed the strongpoint during its third invasion in November 1914. The [[Battle of Kolubara]] caused the Austrians to evacuate all of Serbia in mid-December 1914, and the Parasnica was once more a strongpoint until Serbia's definite conquest in late autumn 1915. After the war, all of the trenches were dismantled and the Parasnica was restored to farmland.
