By a long-standing consensus, and a Wikipedia guideline, Andrić is defined as a "Yugoslav writer" in the lead section, as his complex affiliation is not directly relevant for his notability as a writer. Please review the talk page archives for endless debates on the subject before starting a new one.

Widowed and penniless, Andrić's mother took him to Višegrad and placed him in the care of her sister-in-law Ana and brother-in-law Ivan Matković, a police officer
But, according to very Andric, "sister-in-law Ana" is actually "sister Ana": from Ivo Andric, Pisac govori svojim delom, Beogradski graficki zavod, Beograd 1994, page 169: "I njega i mene su rodjaci gajili i skolovali - njega baba po ocu a mene tetka po majci." (engl. Both he and I were raised and educated by our relatives - he by his paternal grandmother and me by my maternal aunt). Further on page 275: "Posle kratkog zadrzavanja u Travniku, prvu toplu supu pojeo sam u Visegradu kod tetke Ane" (engl. After a short stay in Travnik, I ate my first hot soup in Visegrad at aunt Ana's (home)) 93.86.31.237 (talk) 10:38, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bottom line: Remove "Andrić's parents were both Catholic Croats." and "Widowed and penniless, Andrić's mother..." as pointless. 93.86.35.19 (talk) 18:49, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
