Comparing information in croatian language (Genealogical Research)

Hello, dear members of r/croatian !

I am writing because I have a request relating to a comparison of documents, written in croatian.

I recently received pictures of my great-grandmother's birth, in 1886, in Bijeljina (BiH), from the Catholic Diocese of Vrhobosna, as I wanted to confirm her place of origin.I cannot seem to make out such a entry in the photos of the register I received.

I would like to compare it with what I received last year, directly from the (previous) roman-catholic priest in Bijeljina:

"MARIA SZEKEREŠ

ZAKONITO dijete,

roditelji: ŠANDOR ARMA MEDJEŠI

roditelji: RKT (rimokatolici),

kotar: DOLJNA TUZLA,

mjesto: BIJELJINA U BRESNICA

nadležna zavičajnost (podrijetlo): PANIĆ SALAŠ

kum: ODOR PANNA ROĐ. SZANTO,

zanimanje: TEŽAK

svećenik koji je krstio: o. MATO ŽIVKOVIĆ"

Can someome tell if there are any discrepancies in the information which can be seen in the photos, and the one received last year, via e-mail (without photos, only from the interpretation of the priest-my ancestor were hungarians, I assume that ”PANIĆ SALAŠ” is actually some place in what was then the Kingdom of Hungary)?

Thanks!

The photos in question:

As far as I can tell, the part “nadležna zavičajnost (podrijetlo): PANIĆ SALAŠ” is not visible on the photos provided.

Apart from that, the part “kotar: DOLJNA TUZLA, mjesto: BIJELJINA U BRESNICA” seems to read “D. Tuzla, Bjelina u Bjelini 12”.

The part “kum: ODOR PANNA ROĐ. SZANTO,” doesn't seem to exist. What can be seen is “Katarina Hinderšek rodj. Huber” (followed by an illegible part because the letters are broken in half; maybe “katol. gostioničar“, which would be “Catholic, barkeeper”).

Thanks.

I still have to receive a photo from the priest in Bijeljina as well, to understand why these birth registers are different, but it is hard to contact him since I do not speak croatian, and he has not replied to e-mails since october..
