1. Introduction
Leskovac valley is part of a mountain-basin-valley macro-region of Serbia. In a narrow sense,
Leskovac valley itself is a microregion within Southern Serbia.
It spreads within the Rhodope system (Serbo-Macedonian mass), in the central part of the
South Morava River, between Vranje in the south and Nis basin in the north. Leskovac valley is about
430 NGW, in the central part of the Balkan Peninsula. It is one of the major basins in Serbia. Altitude
of the valley bottom ranges from 210 m to 240 m. Length in the north-south is about 50 km, and
maximum width in the east-west (Vlasotince - Radan) is about 45 km and covers an area of 1928,6
km2. It is slightly tilted to the north.
The main watercourse in the valley is the South Morava which has four major rivers flowing
into it: the Veternica River, Pusta River Jablanica and Vlasina (Leskovac five-river system), as well as a
number of smaller tributaries. Therefore, the valley is not a unified whole but these flows divide it into
smaller parts: Leskovac field (central part of the valley), Porecje (the central part of the Veternica
basin), Jablanica, Pusta River and others.1
To the south, Leskovac valley is limited by the slopes of Goljak, Kukavica and Ostrozub. The
eastern boundary is defined by the following mountains: Krusevica, Babicka Gora and Selicevica. In
the west, boundary is made of the slopes of Pasjaca, Vidojevica, Arbanaska mountain and Radan. The
boundary in the southwestern edge of the valley is not defined, because there are no major
outstanding mountains.
In terms of administrative - territorial affiliation, Leskovac valley covers most of the Jablanica Region
as follows: Lebane, Leskovac, Vlasotince, Medvedja and Bojnik. Part of the valley belongs to the
district of Nis in terms of administration.2 The biggest municipality in size is the City of Leskovac, and
not only in the region but also in Serbia.

2.5 History, tradition and cultural heritage
In the 5th century BA, Greek historian Herodot mentioned that in a place or in the vicinity of
todays Leskovac was an Ilyrian (dardan) settlement, surrounded by the fields of hemp. In the 2nd
century, after defeating the Ilyrians, the Romans came to this area. They found a settlement on the
left bank of the Veternica River and built a fortress on the Hill of Hisar, which dominated the town and
nearby roads.
There are no data about the first centuries of life of our predecessors in this area until the 12th
century. The area around Leskovac, named Glubocica (Dubocica), was given as a present from Greek
emperor Manojlo to Nemanja in the 12th century, as the area of Glubocica, where Leskovac
settlement was situated. During the times of Emperor Dusan and immediately after him, some villages
in Dubocica, as well as Leskovac, were given to monasteries as presents. Emperor Stefan Dusan gave
the village of Leskovac to Hilendar Monastery in 1348. In 1395, Efimija (Duchess Milica) and her sons
Vuk and Stefan gave a house in Leskovac and two men to Svetogorski Monastery St Pantelejmon. At
that time, Leskovac was mentioned for the first time as a town.
By the end of the 18th century, Leskovac was
already the center of big Leskovac pashalik that covered
the territory of former Alaxi - Hisar (Krusevac) and
Paracin. French geographer Ami Bue wrote in 1837 that
Leskovac had 3,000 houses, 2,400 Christian and 500
Turkish, 30 Roma and 10 Jewish, and total of 15,000
citizens.
Occupation of Leskovac area by Austro Hungary,
Germany and Bulgaria (from 1915 - 1918), did great damage to citizens, economy and it stopped the
development of the town. Leskovac achieved the maximum in economic development by the beginning of World War II. On April 6 and 8 in 1941, Leskovac was bombed for the first time. Bombs
fell around railway station, main street towards Hisar, foundry "Sava" was destroyed as well as
transport company "Begovic and Djokic". Germans entered Leskovac on April 12, 1941 and occupied it.
During World War II, Leskovac submitted great
human and material losses, and when freedom was
already in sight, it suffered a catastrophe that no other
city in Serbia did. Anglo-American bombers like "Libertas"
accompanied by "hunters" dumped 69 tons of bombs on
the city by the system of carpet bombing on 6
September, 1944. That killed a large number of people,
and some estimates range as high as 6,000 (although so
far the confirmed list - first and last names is 819 killed)
and destroyed entire neighborhoods, as well as the 84
largest and most beautiful city objects, which forever ruined the architectural appearance of the city
at the crossroads of craft and industrial center.
In World War II, Leskovac was released on 11 October, 1944, but that did not stop the
dissolution of its powerful industry created in the 1920s and 1930s.
Already in June 1945, the factory "Gligorije Petrovic and co." was nationalized, and since then
it operated in public ownership under the name of T. I. "Kosta Stamenkovic". During the period

Picture 5. Hisar bridge,1889.

between 1945 and 1952, a large number of textile and other factory machinery was moved from
Leskovac to other cities of Yugoslavia (Pirot, Titograd, Uzice, Prokuplje, Visegrad, Pozarevac,
Belgrade, Tetovo, Zemun ...), which was certainly a decisive factor in the interrupted development of
Leskovac as an industrial center.
Legend says that Leskovac was named after the plant leska that grew on the site of the former
drained lake that was located below the foot of the Hisar hill and near the present City of Leskovac.
Settlement Leskovac was named after it more than 600 years ago.
Sop-Djokic House is 120 years old. This is a one-
storey building with a porch above the entrance.
The ground floor of the building is almost without
openings and half of it is cellar space. Floor of the
house was well furnished with a carved ceiling in
the largest room. The building was restored and
rebuilt in the same style in 1980.
House of Bora Dimitrijevic Piksla, the old
building of the National Museum, was built in the
nineteenth century. It is a single storey building,
made in the Balkan style. Today, this building
represents a permanent ethnological exhibition
of the National Museum, which depicts the
interior of houses in Leskovac during the nineteenth century.
Odzaklija Church was built in 1803 on the foundations of an already existing temple. Its
appearance is different from other churches. It is wide and low, which is why the outside looks more
like a house than a church. That was the intention of the ancient builders. In fact, it was built during
the Turkish rule, when the the invaders did not look benevolently on Orthodox churches. At that time
there were no churches in the city, so Leskovac people went to temples that were located in the
surrounding villages. In the first years of the the 19th century, they were able to obtain a firman from
the Sultan, i.e. the permission to build a church in the city. However, the local Turkish population was
not very pleased. Leskovac people, as the story goes and is recorded by a number of authors, came
up with the idea to build a fireplace and chimney to the object, saying that they were not building the
church, but the priest's house. And after the completion of construction, and the Turkish rule, the
temple was exposed to danger. It was damaged in both bombings of Leskovac, German and Allied,
and during World War II. The floods hit the city in 1948, and the water that entered the temple was
one meter high. Chimney existed until 1963 when it collapsed, while a fireplace remained in the

church. That same year, the roof fell under the strong pressure of snow and renovation was started in
1970 and completed in 1992. Within the churchyard, there is one rarity in the Orthodox world, the
unique example of the construction venture, which is an old church dedicated to the Nativity of the
Virgin Mary or Mala Gospojina.

Since it has a moderate continental climate with very mild winters and moderately warm
summers, Leskovac abounds in natural beauty which is very rare by its diversity and beauty. Numerous mountains, lakes, rivers, canyons, gorges ... are characteristic of this region.
Rivers
The largest river in the region of Leskovac is the South
Morava River, flowing from the south to the north, and along with the West Morava River, it makes the Great
Morava. The following rivers flow into the South Morava: the Vlasina River, which affects water from Vlasina Lake and
flows through Crna Trava and Vlasotince; the Veternica,
which flows through Leskovac, Jablanica, which rises at the foot of Goljak and flows through Medvedja and Lebane, the
Pusta River, which flows from mountain Radan, fills Brestovacko Lake and flows through Bojnik. The Vucjanka
River, starting from mountain Kukavica, flows through Vucje

and flows into the Veternica. Leskovac area is also famous for the Kozaracka, Predejanska,
Kopasnicka and Susica River.
Flora and Fauna
Natural resources of Leskovac area are favourable for a great variety of
plants and animals. Most common wild animals are: deer, wild boar, rabbit, partridge and pheasant. A great variety of herbs and other useful
plants grow here. The first flora research in this area was conducted by the founder of Serbian botany, Josif Pancic at the end of the 19th
century.
He found a very rare plant on Ostrozub, endemorelict bay-cherry (Prunus Laurocerasus). For more than hundred years this plant has attracted
attention of botanists from all over the world, since it was found only here, in Bulgaria and on 2-3 other locations. That is why Ostrozub is
protected as a natural reserve. There are around 50 rare, mainly healthy
plants in Leskovac area.
Grdelica gorge
A wide Leskovac valley became full of hills
covered with forests only ten kilometers south of the town. That is where a vivid Grdelica
gorge begins. The south part is called Momina gorge. The South Morava River flows through
it. Only 25 km away from Leskovac, there is a
nice mountain picnic resort Predejane surrounded by forests, hills, protected from
winds and with no fog- an ideal place for rest.
Babicka gora hillsides This mountain beauty is rich with different wild animals. It is special because the sight from the hills
towards Suva mountain is exquisite, so it can be a good starting point for walking tours through mountainous area.
Canyon of the Vucjanka River
The Vucjanka River flows through the rocky riverbed through the mountain Kukavica. It makes beautiful
channels, waterfalls and miniature lakes. Canyon is several kilometers long and has many attractive bathing
locations. In the middle of the Vucjanka canyon there is
one of the oldest hydroelectric power plants on the Balkans. It was built in 1903 and it is still functioning.

Kukavica Potential for tourism development of Leskovac is mountain Kukavica, which is situated among Vranje
valley in the south, Leskovac in the north and Grdelica gorge in the east, as well as the valley of Veternica. Peak is called Vlajna and is
1441 meters high. It covers the area of 587 m2. This mountain is only 16 km away from Leskovac. Local bus lines connect the town to it often
enough and roads are also good. Mountain Kukavica has good natural
conditions for development of mountain and hunting tourism, since there are many wild animals such as wild boar and deer. There are also
many other birds and animals, as well as predators. PC "Srbija sume" is responsible for it. One of the registered hunting areas is "Kukavica"
which is at 1360 meters above sea level. Beneath the peak there is a
ski path which is 600 m long and 100 m wide, with the average slope of 22 %. ukavica is an ideal place for sports preparations, mounteneering and walking, rural tourism and exploitation of medical herbs.

4.1 Population (number of inhabitants and population growth)
When comparing the data from the last two censuses, it must be taken
into account that the same concept of total population was not applied, and that the Albanians from Southern Serbia boycotted the 2011 census.5 In the absence of official census data that could be used
for the methodologically correct calculation of the population growth, as well as the official estimate of the population who boycotted the 2011 Census, calculations of authors were made which were the
basis for the net emigration at the time between censuses 2002 - 2011, estimated at 65 thousand,
with the decrease of total population at 363 thousand (which is about 50 thousand more than the official data). Negative natural increase amounted to 297 thousand. Reduction of population is much higher in the south than in the north. Between the two censuses in Leskovac, there has been a depopulation, which is a warning. According to official data of
the last census in 2011, in the territory of our city there are 144,206 inhabitants, which is 12,046 less
than the census in 2002. The main reasons for depopulation lie in extremely low fertility and high mortality rates. Negative population growth is -6.7 per 1000 inhabitants. Migration or highly expressed
emigration in the region (especially of the young) is a major problem of the city, although it has been a continuous, decades-long trend present in the whole Serbia: migration from village to city.
Aging of the overall population (observed from the mid-20th century) is a process that has lasted in Leskovac and Serbia for more than 40 years, from the late 1960s when the population was
demographically the youngest. With an average age of 41.52 years (41.57 years, Serbia), an aging
index of 111.71 in Leskovac and 114.32 in Serbia, the country was one of the demographically oldest ones in the world in 2011. According to the preliminary data of the agricultural census, 14% of the total population is agricultural population. The level of education of the population in the city, as well as the structure of
professional offer is less favorable than in the Republic of Serbia, and is far behind the developmental
needs of the City.
