For a month or two, I was thinking to introduce barnstars for original works on sr:. I introduced two categories: (1) for original work (in the sense of Wikipedia; the rule is that there is no encyclopedic article on other Wikipedias) and (2) for something which I called "original interwiki work" (this case; article should exist on at least one other Wikipedia, but not on en:).
And I got some results :) Two new articles: one in relation sr-hr, which is not so interesting (I would like not to start with the new-old explanations, so don't ask why ;) ) and one in relation sr-bg, which is more interesting because Bulgarians have to translate text from Serbian into Bulgarian (and vice versa) and it is not so easy for people who don't have philological education.
So, it seems that it is not so rare if we are talking about languages which have some relation. But, relation like ja-sv-sr is not so often :)
I think we should note such events at some page (somewhere on Meta? on en:? ;) ). The first and less important reason is that such article should be added into "requested articles" on en:
It is important to show that Wikipedia is the place where diversities between different people are not forced to be unified into "one language world". At least.
This two articles are:
1) sr-hr, about Stojan Novakovic, Serbian politician, historican and philologist:

2) sr-bg, about Slobodan Jovanovic, Serbian politician, historian and novelist (and president of Serbian Academy):

That's not so surprising in and of itself.
I think what Milos meant is that there are 3 interwiki links, yet none to English.
3 versions without an English version is sort of rare, but the fact that those languages are Japanese, Swedish, and Serbian makes it all the more peculiar.
It is not that rare. I am sure I have seen it more often.
