There is debate among different scholars of whether Skanderbeg's mother was related to the Muzaka family, most likely of Albanian descent, or of the Serb Branković dynasty, or of an unknown Bulgarian family. There is, however, no mention of Voisava on the Branković dynasty family tree.

The page is a joke, starts with propaganda in trying to undermine skanderbe that he holds little and doesn't even mention how many battles he won and how nor any details.
Jure Kastriotić was a Croatian nobleman from present day town Rama in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He was born in catholic Croatian family. God bless this Croatian noble hero. ShkijaJanjevarOlujaVictim (talk) 23:34, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
His name
I’d suggest adding his name in Serbian (Đurađ Kastriot (Cyrillic: Ђурађ Кастриот)), to not upset anyone. If Italian and Latin is there, Serbian should be too. Hidontknow (talk) 11:42, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
