Even nerdier than r.s.t.?

Yes, it looks like they are. For goodness sake, Serbo-Croat, as I
understand is a shared spoken language, but is written in the Cyrillic
alphabet by Serbs and in the Latin (or Roman) alphabet by Croats.


Serbs started using latin alphabet as well in the first half of the last
century.
so they're not like bulgarians or russians...i.e. they don't use "only
cyrilic".
You can't write Davydenko or Sharapova in cyrilic so you won't write
something like "Sarapova".

But in serbian latin version it's Dokovic, just like it's in croatian
Ivanisevic.
then wikipedia should change Björn Borg, Jirí Novák and all others.

But if it is supposed to be enyclopedia, then it makes sense that it's a
place where you can find out someone's "real name".
