>>14364930I guess it's because of the times of Yugoslavia, where Croatia, Bosnia, and Slovenia used latin, and the government created a thing called "serbo-croatian" language, and latin writing was introduced to the orthodox part of the country. In fact, even cyrillic was introduced to the catholic part, and croats learned cyrillic, and the older generation still can read it, but since the war cyrillic was eradicated from croatian schools. There was even a protest like 10 years ago, where croats destroyed a lot of cyrillic signs.
Altough latin was not yeeted out from serbian schools and I guess it's because our autonomous province, Vojvodina, has a large catholic minority (hungarians, croats, slovaks etc).
