"Kod Bileće, 27. avgusta, dočekao je tu tursku vojsku, u hercegovačkim klancima, vojvoda Vlatko Vuković sa bosanskom vojskom i potukao je do noge." ([1])

  • This article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited and I prefer the more straightforward ALT1. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:08, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
