PETER VOJVODA GOES THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN (folk) Through the mountain goes Peter the Duke, followed by a company, a hundred comitas, after him a company, hey, a hundred comitas. Petre voivode, young hero, do you hear your mother's tears? Do you hear, hey, mother's tears? You lead the Komit companies through the mountains, but you do not come to the mother's son. And mother's son, hey, you don't come. Who will watch your old mother? Who will put your father in the grave? Who will put your father in the grave? Serbian traditional song from the Pešter Plateau. Petar Petrović Azanac (1880-1917), from 1900 to 1917, Duke of Komita in the area of Bihor. He got the nickname Azanac because he was born in the village of Azane in Bihor. A great hero and hajduk who fought against Turkish and Austro-Hungarian oppression. There was a so-called The Komitski road that started from Javor and through the Sjenica and Prijepolje regions to the Bjelopolje and Beran areas. Serbian committees and couriers traveled that way, and the connection between Serbia and Montenegro was also maintained. In the beginning, the most numerous was the Komite company of Petar Petrović Azanjac, which cruised between the river Lima and the mountains Javora, Golija and Zlatar. This company caused panic among the Turkish authorities, and even the Kosovo valia personally informed the sultan himself about its activities in 1910, which speaks volumes about his warrior strength and the Turkish authorities' fear of his influence among the people.
