The town of Gacko from Bosnia-Herzegovina, seems to be linked with the Drobnjak tribe. So, I wanted to see if my father has autosomal matches that have ancestors from Gacko. There is indeed one match on 23andMe, named D. Bukvic, who has the paternal grandmother born there. She shares with my father a 12 cm DNA segment. There are almost 100 shared matches, but I will present only those that have the same DNA segment shared with my father and D. Bukvic. Of course, I will list only those matches that have added details about their grandparents. None of the male shared matches has the I-P109 haplogroup. The orthography of the names is the one used by the matches.

The matches that have the biggest amount of shared DNA with D. Bukvic are Savic, Lacevic, Zotovich. There are also Albanian shared matches (Topllari, Berisha, Husenaj, Abrashi, Beshi), but none has the same segment shared with my father and D. Bukvic.
It is interesting that S. Ivans has a grandparent from Batinjani, Croatia. I remember that one of the first records of the Drobnjak tribe was about a man named Bratigna Drobnjak. Yes, there is an R in Bratigna (pronounced like Bratinja) which is not present in Batinja, but the names seem close enough.

I have donated 18 dollars to have Zeqiri (from Kičevo, North Macedonia) tested at YSEQ for FGC22052, the SNP just above FGC22061 on YFull. He is negative. See the screenshot below.
