Petar Kacarević (Serbian Cyrillic: Петар Кацаревић; fl. 1905–06), nicknamed Pera (Пера) and Čiča (чича, "uncle"), was a vojvoda (commander) of the Serbian Chetnik Organization active in the Maleševo region.
Kacarević hailed from Maleš on the Krivi Bor near Berovo.[2] The Kacarević family adhered to the Patriarchate of Constantinople. Veljko Kacarević, an Orthodox priest from Berovo, was a Serbian teacher in the region in the 19th century,[3] and manager of the Serbian schools in the region (fl. 1902).[4] Ilija Kacarević, an alumnus of the Prizren Seminary, was a priest and the deputy of Berovo.[5]
His band fought Bulgarians at Maleš on the 10th, 16th, 20 and 21 November 1905, without casualties.[6] His band of 12 fighters fought with 186 Ottoman soldiers on the hill of Krivo Brdo near Berovo on 12 May 1906, with 10 casualties; the band had been betrayed by Bulgarian Exarchists in Berovo.[1] He died while fighting on the Maleš, and with him the other nine fell: Jakov Đura Gabaj of Stara Pazova; Gligorije Đorđević of Ratevo; Đura Ivanišević of Montenegro; Đorđe Filipović-Brka of Prizren; Vojislav Vujović; Todor Božidarac of Niš; Milorad Mijailović; Milić Đukić; Mijailo Petrović of Šabac.
