Ivo Andric. He was born and raised in Travnik, or
"Vizier's City", the Ottoman-era capital of Bosnia and
Herzegovina. His book Na Drina Cuprija (Bridge over
the Drina) won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1967.
His book, "Woman from Sarajevo" is probably the
second-most famous in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
One of the lines from that book is engraved on the
Vratnik Gate in the old City Walls around Sarajevo:
"At whatever time of day, and from whatever point you
set your sights on Sarajevo, you always - and without
specific intention - think the same thing: THAT is a
city. A city that both nears its end and is dying, yet, at
the same time, is being reborn."

Well... probably vladika Petar II Petrovic Njegos (my avatar ),
writer of The Mountain Wreath(Gorski vijenac), and many other works,
but Gorski vijenac is the most popular..... or maybe Ivo Andric... if
not just counting montenegro, but the neighbors too......

Hey, there must be a nest in former Yugo, of Karl May fans, met quite a few of them. Did you prefer Old Shatterhand or Kara ben Nemsi? I liked his adventures on the Balkans, read them a couple of years back again.

1. Milos Crnjanski, Mesa Selimovic, Ivo Andric (last 2 wrote on serbian literary language, although there are many disputes over their nationality)
2. Milos Crnjanski (my personal favorite)
3. Milorad Pavic (he wrote "Hazarski recnik")
4. Tolkien of course (to my oppinion he's the greatest writer ever)
