Boluk-bashi

Serbian hajduks
It was adopted by the Serbian hajduks and into the Serbian Revolutionary Army as buljubaša (Serbian Cyrillic: буљубаша) or buljukbaša (буљукбаша).
People such as Janko Gagić, Arsenije Loma, Konda Bimbaša, Zeka Buljubaša, Veljko Petrović and Petar Dobrnjac had the rank of buljubaša in the prelude and during the Serbian Revolution.
