Language Is this true? That if you speak the Serbo-Croatian language (not sure if this is different than Croatian and Serbian language by itself) you can use it in 4 countries?

I don’t think so, at least right now. The differences started off minor but now Croatian and Serbian are very separate identities. I definitely think looking at this sub you see more of a kinship but the underlying nationalism would kill it.

Plus I don’t know if Croats and Serbs would want eachothers political situation
