About Vikentije Popović-Hadžilavić

Lived 1650 – 1725 (aged 74–75).

Vićentije Popović (; 1650–1725) was the metropolitan of the Serbian Orthodox Metropolitanate of Karlovci, and the highest-ranking prelate of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the Habsburg Monarchy, from 1713 to 1725.

He used two patronymics, Popović, and Hadži-Lavić or Hadžilavić . His father, Lav Popović, was a daskal (teacher). Vićentije was born in the village of Janjevo, at the time part of the Ottoman Empire (now southeastern Kosovo), and he took monastic vows in the Patriarchal Monastery of Peć. Like all of the early metropolitans of Sremski Karlovci, Vikentije also spent his early career in the Patriarchate of Peć where he received his education.

In January 1708 he was elected as Eastern Orthodox Bishop of Buda (modern Budapest, capital of Hungary). Upon election to the metropolitan throne in 1713, he initially resided in the Monastery of Krušedol, that was plundered during the Austro-Turkish War (1716-1718), forcing him to transfer metropolitan residence to Sremski Karlovci, thus creating the base for change of title from Metropolitanate of Krušedol to Metropolitanate of Karlovci.
