What is "jelezovac"

Jelezovac ( Serbian Cyrillic: Јелезовац) is an urban neighborhood of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. It is located in Belgrade's municipality of Rakovica.

Jelezovac is located in the central part of the municipality, on the northern side of the Patrijarha Dimitrija street and the creek of Milošev potok. It borders the neighborhoods of Sunčani Breg and Straževica to the west, the Zmajevac creek (and further the neighborhood of Miljakovac III) to the north and Resnik to the south.

The neighborhood is entirely residential. It has been named after the creek of Jelezovac, located to the east. Railway station Jajinci and the monastery of Rakovica are located nearby.

Jelezovac is a new settlement, constructed since the 1990s, without regulatory plans. In the plans for the urbanization of this area, it is projected as the one neighborhood with Sunčani Breg, Sunčani Breg-Jelezovac.
