Thanks for your input! Firstly, there's a lot of huffle, puffle and spin around Gaddafi, so frankly trying to tie anything down is difficult. Secondly he most certainly did have close ties to Yugoslavia, so I am not surprised by the story. Most of the refs that I could find tied her to a Libyan birth, with a Hungarian family background on one side - hence why the article is written as it is. Secondly, most of the stories tied their meeting to his hospitalisation shortly after the coup in 1969, but the dates varied between 1969 and 1971: I choose the one most referenced. If you can find more sources, very happy to review, but on present balance the current words seem to sum up what the refs suggest and would hence support.

Here is another take on it, from a discussion site: "ibn_battuta wrote: Feb 28th 2011 6:47 GMT.That second wife, Sofija Farkas may be a Croat from Mostar (Bosnia), but her last name is definitely Hungarian. Now I googled her, and it turns out that her grandfather, a certain Ivan Farkas, was a Hungarian public officer stationed in Bosnia when the region belonged to Austria-Hungary(BTW," Farkas "in Hungarian means" wolf ")". I cannot vouch for it, though. Source:http:// economist /blogs/easternapproaches/2011/02/libyas_balkan_connections84.23.155.84(talk)18:10, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
