And we're off into la-la land yet once again:
Kozor's Croat ultranationalist HDZ party defined itself by asserting that Croatian is a different, distinct language from Serbian... going to the extreme of burning books and issuing dictionaries of newly invented "Croatian" words to wall Croat's off from Serbs and thereby try to maintain some grounds for having ripped Yugoslavia apart by seceding.
Yet how can these be two separate languages be if the documents that Croata donated to the Serbs (8-million euros worth of translations from German and other EU official languages into "Croatian") and then, in front of the international media, the Serbs simply accepted the documents and then directly read them out aloud, in their Serbian mother-tongue, reading directly off the translated "Croatian-version" documents in front of them.
Either the silly story about a separate, distinct Croatian language is yet another example of falsified anti-Serbian propaganda, or the poor Serbian government is going to have to spend another 8-million euro translating the presumably unintelligible "Croatian" texts into the foreign language of "Serbian".
What a farce! How can Western Croato-phile apparatchiks and academics bear to align themselves with such unreformed racist policies and programs?
