@chryseliseos To conclude, he was Serb from Bosnia, who spent most of his life in Belgrade. Again, this is just friendly advice, I'm glad that you love Andric, and if you need any info on him or some other Serbian (or ex-YU) writer, let me know. I agree that his literature genius is what's meters, not nationality, but I can't be immune to mistakes. Stay well, bro.

He wasn't Bosnian writer, but Serbian.

@Stratokle You can read his biography on Wikipedia site. He was born to a Roman Catholic family of Croatian parentage in Travnik, Bosnia and Herzegovina and raised by his mother's family in the town of Visegrad, on the river Drina in eatern Bosnia. So, no Serbian at all!

@chryseliseos I don't need Wiki, I have all books from him and about him. He was declare himself as Serb-Catholic, he used to writing in CIRILICA and EKAVICA (I hope you know what I'm talking about). Speaking of Wiki you have there picture of his ID from 1951. where he declared himself as Serb. It seems that you don't understand ethnic relations in former Yugoslavia so well. You can also read his "Notebooks", published in 1982. if you know Serbian language.This is friendly advice, not criticism.

@Stratokle “He declared himself as Serb in 1951” and “he donated all of the Nobel prize money for the improvement of libraries in Bosnia and Herzegovina”, ten years later.
Why we must insist exclusively on his serbian citizenship?
Ηis greatness as a writer raise him over ethnic conflictcs.
Nationalism is the worst advisor, my friend.
