If the question was what language is spoken in Belgrade, today it would
be Serbian, but in 1980 it would have been Serbo-Croatian.

recognised four different written standards of Sebro-Croatian. Whereas
the standard for Dutch is controlled by a joint body based in Brussles

(Then again, even today there are two standards for written Serbian, as
the language can be written with both Cyrillic and Latin scripts.)
