Jezerka

Jezerka is an eastern tributary (class H - Hydrographic, freshwater stream) of Europe's Vrbanja River. It flows from the western slopes of the Uzlomac, at nine hundred meters above sea level, and south of the villages of Grabik and Jankovine. The river delta is several kilometers upstream from Vrbanjci, along the main motorway M-4 (Banja Luka – Doboj).[1][2]
Its largest tributaries are Žilića and Dubočaj with Pirizevac (to the east). There were seven mills built on the Jezerka in the late 1950s.[3]
On the plateau of its upper flow, several crossroads lead to the village of Gornji Obodnik and to the M-4 motorway. On the northeast slopes of Uzlomac (1,002 meters), a mountain pass separates the confluences of the Vrbanja river and the Ukrina (the Božića stream and confluence of Bistrica).
During the War in Bosnia,[4] inhabitants along the mouth of Jezerka were expelled and murdered. This was especially true for the villages of Vrbanjci, Večići, Hrvaćani, Garići, and Rujevica.[5][6][7][8][9]
