S. Avdo Karabegović  Avdo Karabegović (; 25 August 1878 – ), better known by his pen name S. Avdo Karabegović (), was a Bosnian, and later Serbian, poet who was active between 1895 and 1908. Born to a prominent but impoverished Muslim landowning family in northern Bosnia, Karabegović's poetry was first published when he was seventeen. An ardent Serbophile, he attended school in Anatolia for several years before relocating to Serbia and settling in its capital, Belgrade. In 1900, Karabegović and fellow Muslim Serbophiles Osman Đikić and Omer-beg Sulejmanpašić printed a book of Serbian patriotic poetry. Later that year, upon entering Austria-Hungary on a visit to neighbouring Zemun, Karabegović was arrested for draft evasion by the Austro-Hungarian authorities and forcibly inducted into the Austro-Hungarian Army, where he contracted tuberculosis. Shortly after being discharged from the Austro-Hungarian Army, Karabegović was stripped of his Austrian citizenship. He subsequently returned to Serbia and completed teachers' college. In 1905, Karabegović published his second and final poetry collection. Later that year, he was hired to teach Muslim schoolchildren in the town of Mali Zvornik, in western Serbia. By 1908, Karabegović's health had deteriorated rapidly, and in November of that year, his friends took him to a hospital in the town of Loznica, where he died the following month. His body was buried at Belgrade's New Cemetery. Avdo Karabegović was born into a prominent but impoverished Muslim land-owning family in the town of Modriča, in northern Bosnia, on 25 August 1878. He was the son of Halim-beg and Fatima Karabegović (). The Karabegović clan is believed to have originated from the village of Budim Do, in western Herzegovina. At the beginning of the 18th century, four brothers from the clan left the village and migrated northward, settling in Zenica, Bihać, Mostar and Modriča, respectively. Karabegović personally believed that he was descended from the medieval Crnojević noble family, which ruled the Principality of Zeta in the 15th century.
