montenegro independence referendum[edit]

i think his mission in the process of montenegro independence referendum should be in the article Stefke (talk) 21:37, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Fluent in Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian"[edit]

That is ridiculous. It suggests he can speak all of these three "languages". Every Serb, Croat, Montenegrin and Bosnian Muslim is "fluent" in these three dialects. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.109.190.88 (talk) 10:21, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is a strange thing about “language” in some parts of the Balkans. When a Serbo-Croatian speaker enters a Catholic church, he (or she) starts to speak Croatian; when a Serbo-Croatian speaker enters a Serb Orthodox church, he starts to speak Serbian; when a Serbo-Croatian speaker enters a Sunni mosque, he start to speak Bosnian; and when a Serbo-Croatian speaker enters a Montenegrin Orthodox church, he starts to speak Montenegrin.

The curious fact is that when a Serbo-Croatian speaker becomes an atheist or an agnostic, he continues to speak Serbo-Croatian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.52.232.106 (talk) 06:15, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He lived in Belgrade (4 years) and learned Serbian, not Bosnian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zrno (talk • contribs) 11:29, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

IPA pronunciation[edit]

I have no idea how to pronounce the name of this guy, and he’s the President of the UN General Council. Could someone who knows how to pronounce his name and is familiar with the IPA add that pronunciation? Bhull242 (talk) 12:43, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know the IPA, but I speak Slovak and English well. The "English" pronunciation would be "Mee-ro-slav" "Lie-chaak" The consonants (with the exception of the J) are as in English, the C with the accent is a "ch" like in cheese. the I in Miroslav is short like in "feet" rather than long as in "feed" but not super-short like in "fit". The "O" is short like in "box" rather than "go". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.1.230.135 (talk) 18:35, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
