In his book, “Friends”, Dobrica Cosic presents part of testimonial letter of Mesa Selimovic to Serbian Art Academy from 1976. Selimovic writes:
“I come from Muslim family, my nationality is Serbian. I belong to Serbian literature, but literature creativity in Bosnia and Herzegovina I take as native literary center, but not special literature of Serbian-Croatian literary language. I equally respect my origin and my commitment, because I am also connected to anything that identified my personality and my work. Each attempt to separate it, in any case, I would consider misuse of my basic right guaranteed by Statute. Therefore, I belong to the nation and literature of Vuk, Matavulj, Stevan Sremac, Borislav Stankovic, Petar Kocic, Ivo Andric, and my deepest relationship with them I don’t need to prove.”
Novel “Fortress” (1970) was filled with faith in love, which was understood as the bridge that connects people, with no matter to difference in beliefs, civilizations and ideologies.
He died in Jyly 11th 1982 in Belgrade.
