When it comes about Tesla’s nationality everyone says things that are not true. Nobody knows the truth or accept the truth. They say he is either Serbian or Croatian but in fact he is an Istro-Romanian!  His original last name  was Draghici, but over the years this name got replaced by his nickname “Tesla” (tesla – Romanian therm for adze ) because Nikola’s family were carpeters.  Henry Coandă has presented him as a „bănăţean” from Serbian Banat but he was a Istro-Romanian.
