==Languages and names== Croatian is the official first language. Serbian language with its Cyrillic alphabet is the officially recognised second language. As of 2023, most of the legal requirements for the fulfillment of bilingual standards have not been carried out. Official buildings do have Cyrillic signage, but not street signs, traffic signs or seals. Cyrillic is not used on any official documents, nor are there public legal and administrative employees proficient in the script.
