    Miloš Obrenović (pronounced [mîlɔʃ ɔbrɛ̌ːnɔʋitɕ]) (Serbian Cyrillic: Милош Обреновић; Anglicised: Milosh Obrenovich; born Miloš Teodorović[1]) (18 March 1780 [7 March o.s.] – 26 September 1860) was Prince of Serbia from 1815 to 1839, and again from 1858 to 1860. He participated in the First Serbian Uprising, led Serbs in the Second Serbian Uprising, and founded the House of Obrenović. Under his rule, Serbia became an autonomous principality within the Ottoman Empire. Prince Miloš ruled autocratically, permanently refusing to share power. During his rule, he was the richest man in Serbia and one of the richest in the Balkans.

    Greetings Demir,
    I stumbled upon this topic by accident, very interesting information! I was always interested in those decorations but never made an effort to find out what they were. 
    Here's one more interesting painting of Miloš wearing same decorations.

    Jovan Obrenović (Јован Обреновић), Miloš's brother. 
    Painting by Uroš Knežević (Урош Кнежевић) from 1836 and Anastas Jovanović's (Анастас Јовановић) lithography from 1851.

    Apart from the ruling families I've seen paintings and lithographs of prominent Serbs from that period, some even leaders of the First and Second Serbian Uprising, wearing Ottoman decorations. If i'm not mistaken most of them were decorated with Nişan-ı İftihar. I'll try to dig up more photos...

    I apologize for going off-topic, here are some other recipients of Ottoman decorations from that era.
    Luka Lazarević (Лука Лазаревић), looks like Nişan-ı İftihar, please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Apart from that we can see he's also awarded with Russian Golden Medal for Bravery and Zeal (Медаль "За храбрость и усердие") from 1804 on St. George ribbon!

    For the end one more portrait of prince Aleksandar Karađorđević with very nicely depicted decorations. 
    Apart from Ottoman we can see Russian St. Anna and White Eagle and Austrian Order of Leopold.
