===Early life=== Bilal was born in [[Belgrade]], [[Socialist Republic of Serbia|PR Serbia]], [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|SFR Yugoslavia]],<ref>[http://www.popboks.com/tekst.php?ID=6130 Život bez formata] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080209013803/http://www.popboks.com/tekst.php?ID=6130 |date=2008-02-09 }};Popboks, December 26, 2007</ref> to a [[Czechs in Serbia|Czech]] mother, Ana, who came to Belgrade as child from [[Karlovy Vary]], and a [[Bosnians|Bosnian]] Muslim father, Muhamed Hamo Bilal, from [[Ljubuški]], who had been [[Josip Broz Tito]]'s tailor. When he was five years old, his father managed to take a trip and stay in [[Paris]] as a political émigré. Enki and the rest of the family, his mother Ana and sister Enisa, stayed in Yugoslavia, and four years later they followed.<ref name=lambiek-bilal>{{Cite web|last=Lambiek Comiclopedia|title=Enki Bilal|url=http://lambiek.net/artists/b/bilal.htm}}</ref><ref name="Sadiković-2013-Bilal">{{cite web |author1=Dr. Halid Sadiković |title=Enki Bilal |url=http://ljubusaci.com/2013/09/12/enki-bilal/ |website=Ljubušaci.com |access-date=4 July 2020 |language=bs |date=12 September 2013}}</ref> Enki Bilal has no sense of belonging to any ethnic group and religion, nor is he obsessed with soil and roots. He said in one interview: "I also feel Bosnian by my father's origin, a Serb by my place of birth and a Croat by my relationship with a certain one to my childhood friends, not to mention my other Czech half, who I am inherited from mother".<ref>{{Cite web|last=Enki Bilal|title=Enki Bilal|url=http://www.ljubusaci.com/2013/09/12/enki-bilal/|date=September 12, 2013}}</ref>
