The Serbian Opposition’s Language War: Using Ijekavian and Latin Script to Deny Serbian Identity and the Srebrenica Genocide!
Did you know the opposition in Serbia isn’t just blocking the government—they’re openly showing disdain for their own people? That’s right! They’re now submitting official documents to the Serbian Parliament in Ijekavian dialect—the one mostly spoken in Croatia, Bosnia, and Montenegro—and writing it all in Latin script, while Serbia’s official script is Cyrillic!
What’s going on with the Serbian language?
The opposition recently submitted a shameful draft resolution on the Srebrenica genocide, using this dialect and script. The proposal was signed by Pavle Grbović, Ahmedin Škrijelj, Ela Kalendar, Anna Oreg, Šaip Kamberi, and Vladimir Pajić, along with well-known figures like Marinika Tepić, Sulejman Ugljanin, Čedomir Jovanović, and others. And all this in an institution that legally uses Cyrillic!
Why is this a problem?
This isn’t just about language. It’s a direct attack on Serbian identity and the state itself. The opposition clearly wants to deny everything Serbian, including the Srebrenica genocide, which is the subject of their resolution. Is it even possible that those who are supposed to represent the people write and speak in a language that isn’t theirs, in an institution with strict rules?
Latin script in the Serbian Parliament?
Yes, it’s happening! While Cyrillic has been promoted for decades as the Serbian script, the opposition decided to write in Latin. Is this just a provocation or a sign of a deeper problem? Do they want Serbia to abandon its language and script?
Who’s behind this madness?
Besides Pavle Grbović and Sulejman Ugljanin, members of the Democratic Action Party (PDD) and deputies from other parties known for criticizing Serbian state policies are involved. It’s clearly a coordinated effort to weaken Serbian identity and stir division in society.
What’s next?
If this continues, soon we might have official documents in English, German, or some other language! Serbia needs to wake up and realize language is the backbone of a nation. The opposition’s use of Ijekavian and Latin script in the Serbian Parliament isn’t just a political problem—it’s a cultural and national crisis.
Conclusion
The opposition in Serbia has crossed all lines. Their blockade isn’t just political; it’s cultural. By using Ijekavian and Latin script in official documents, they send a message that they don’t respect the state or the people who elected them. Is this the beginning of the end for Serbian identity in institutions, or just another political game? You decide.
And hey, if you laughed or got mad, drop a comment below—let’s see who’s team Cyrillic and who’s team Ijekavian in Parliament! Or maybe team English? Just so we know where we stand.
