There is a reason for its inclusion. I can't see why you have mentioned Western Europe because Goran has no connection to any of the lands considered to be Western Europe, but the subject was born in Serbia and therefore an official Cyrillic variation exists. This is how all subjects born in Serbia are presented regardless of ethnicity. Evlekis (talk) 16:15, 16 May 2009 (UTC) Blocked sock:Evlekis.Reply
That is correct Griffin, nobody is arguing with you there. But that does not mean that the Cyrillic is taken out. If the title of the subject had a different name in English to that used in the Serbian, then this would be followed by both Serbian variations (eg. Belgrade - Београд, Beograd), but when the subject title is based on the name exactly as it is in Serbian, then it is pointless including the transliteration. All right, sometimes you get it, but it is not essential. Cyrillic however is, and is included on all articles where it is necessary to include the Serbian language. So the sequence is: if Serbian is to be given, then Cyrillic will make an appearance. Ofcourse, if you believe that Serbian should not be used, then that implies removal of Cyrillic, but when a person is born in Serbia, it naturally implies that a Cyrillic form exists in some shape, even if only on a certificate kept in the hospital or local municipality! It works the same way with persons born in Greece, the Greek variation is given even if the person is not ethnically Greek, same with non-Arabs born in Arabic countries etc. It should also be noted that all languages - to be recognised internationally - have corresponding Latinic forms, not only Serbian. The difference with Serbian is that the Latinic form of the alphabet is so widely used that people are often misled into thinking that its two-script system is special so to speak.
