A Serb[edit]

He shows everywhere he is a Serb! He had tattooed Serb heroes, then 4C Serb sign and here is the picture of him making Minnesota team mates to raise up 3 fingers as Serbs do! http://www.kurir-info.rs/sa-tri-prsta-nikola-pekovic-nagovorio-igrace-minesote-da-se-slikaju-kao-srbi-clanak-1174165 213.198.211.57 (talk) 22:22, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here is an American article from 2010 referring to Pekovic as a "Serb from Montenegro" http://www.aolnews.com/2010/07/27/buyout-hammered-out-for-pekovic-to-join-timberwolves/ Critikal1 (talk) 02:45, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To put mine full stop at this. He in my opinion is Montenegrin. There are many valid references such as all the biggest basketball sites profiles, forums etc. Until this user put he is a Serb, it was not a problem. Pekovic is born in Bijelo Polje, SFRY RM (now-days Montenegro), he plays for Montenegrin national team, his citizenship is Montenegrin and is also listed on FIBA site as Montenegrin. We shouldn't rely on some Serbian tattoos he is having, neither on three-finger salute, or some tabloid references. All of these insanely references were given by Critikal1. My opinion is to we create some sort of new section in personal life where we should describe his nationality. Enough. AirWolf (talk) 14:44, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And an American Minnesota-based news site is a tabloid? He is a Serb from Montenegro, as are most Montenegrins. If it can't mention his Serb ethnicity on his page, why does the Fatos Bećiraj page mention he is Albanian, although plays for the Montenegro national team, born in Kosovo, Yugoslavia. If one can include his ethnic background, so can the other. Period. Critikal1 (talk) 02:21, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

why don't we compare it to djokovic's wiki page? nowhere is mentioned his roots, though his father is montenegrin while his mother is croat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.239.19.94 (talk) 18:03, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
