Query, leaning towards Oppose: You are right that his home FA and UEFA will use the Montenegrin accents, this is standard practice. The English and Scottish media which the page is sourced from however will not (he was also born and raised in England and Belgium so may not use the diacritics, the EFL/Premier League do not use these for his registration either and neither do his club Aston Villa or his loan club Livingston (which makes me think he doesn't use that spelling), he doesn't use that on his shirt either. I can see that all members of the current Montenegro squad use these accented spellings but you have to take context into account. My vote would be to simply keep the existing redirect and then expand the opening sentence to include the Montenegrin spelling.

Support per nom. Specially because for him to play for Montenegro means he must have Montenegrin citizenship necessarilly, subsequently meaning the Montenegrin spelling being the official one in his case. Montenegro allows double-naionality only in exceptional cases mostly related with Serbia and circunstances totally unrelated to Sarkic one in any way. Despite having been born in UK, Sarkic has represented Montenegro since 2013, and knowing the Montenegrin "one only" passport policy, it means he has been Montenegrin citizen since at least 2013, thus his "official" name spelling has been the one following Montenegrin rules. Despite being aware that our naming policy for article titles has not been the official name in native language, and that we have other policies such as
COMMONNAME which seem to be probably giving different result here, I gave this infrmation about Montenegrin citizenship rules just in case of possibly being helpfull.

Oppose, unless evidence can be provided that Mr Sarkic has legally changed his name to include the diacritics. Otherwise, we shouldn't add them when they're not *actually* present, regardless of what is common among Montenegrin language sources.

Oppose, his name in the English speaking world remains without the diacritics. Should we include his brother
Oliver Sarkic in the nom as well? His last name would change as well, and he also represents Montenegro internationally.--

I check pages listed in
Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for
orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of
Matija Sarkic's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not.

Age discrepancy in article.
According to the lede, Sarkic was born in 1997. However, the death section, it says he was 26 when he died. Either the DoB on the article is incorrect, as he would be 24 this year, or the material used in the reference indicating his death at the age of 26, had made an error. Can we get this checked please, so the correct information is shown? Thanks.

Yep, you're right! I'm a dumbass. I shouldn't try to do maths while I'm tired. Sorry for the error, and thanks.
