For Joy:
"Just a note: the same stuff about empire of Jovan and whatnot is at Backa"
It was not "stuff", but historical fact. As I explained, he was not real emperor, but he only proclaimed him self to be emperor and ruled in parts of Vojvodina territory as an independent ruler. Here you can find some quotes about Jovan Nenad:

Following the defeat at Mohacs the town was occupied by Serbian mercenaries, recruited in Srem, serving for Janos Szapolyai, a voivod from Transylvania, later a Hungarian king. Their leader, Jovan Nenad Crni (Jovan Nenad the Black) proclaimed himself czar and founded an ephemeral independent state, with Subotica its center.

One of its most interesting figures is the Emperor Jovan Nenad, who made Subotica the centre of his empire.

This is also the context which saw the brief appearance of the heroic but mysterious Serbian "Czar" Jovan Nenad, whose brave deeds against the Turks got lost in this civil conflict, and were never recorded by epic tradition.

One of the most interesting figures of its past is emperor Jovan Nenad, whose centre of empire was exactly in Subotica.
