Jezero is a village in the municipality of Plaški, in the Lika region of Croatia.
On 10 April 1941 when the Wehrmacht entered Zagreb, a Royal Yugoslav Army column was retreating through Jezero from Plaški on their way to Bihać. The Yugoslav Army had to leave a truck full of ammunition, which the local villagers then took for their own defense. Among those was Nikola Dokmanović, who was later killed by the Ustaše because of that truck.[3]: 347
