Identity: the queue line's bearer is the Sarajevo-born leader of the Yugoslav Muslim Organization (1883–1939); the queue's years are confirmed to the day. Existence checks by name fragments (spaho) and by QID across data/person on origin/main found no prior record; Spaho is a family name borne by his brother Fehim, built in this same batch, so the identity was pinned by biography as well as by QID. Sarajevo and Belgrade have place entities and carry the born_in and died_in edges. The sibling edge to Fehim Spaho is written once, in the elder brother's record, per the lane's write-once convention; his brother Mustafa and his parents have no records.",
