Pocerina Section
The Jerez originates from the western slopes of the Cer mountain in the hilly Pocerina region of western Serbia, near the village of Čokešina. It flows generally into the south-to-north direction, curving a lot between the villages of Prnjavor, a regional center of Pocerina, Ribari and Petlovača, where the Jerez enters the Kurjačko polje (Wolf's field) of the low Mačva region.
The bed of Jerez is actually an ancient bed of the Drina river, which used to flow into the Sava at Šabac. When the Drina changed its course several dozens of kilometers to the west, the waters springing out from the Cer mountain filled the empty river bed and the river Jerez was created.

Famous quotes containing the word section:
“... all my letters are read. I like that. I usually put something in there that I would like the staff to see. If some of the staff are lazy and choose not to read the mail, I usually write on the envelope “Legal Mail.” This way it will surely be read. It’s important that we educate everybody as we go along.”
—Jean Gump, U.S. pacifist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 10, by Studs Terkel (1988)
