Unforunately I do not know this.
George claims that they are different; people from sr.wiki are claiming they are not. It's difficult to separate the opinions here.
Also, there is an unfortunate lack of material on Zlatiborian, and even on Serbian regional differences, so unlike a case such as Triestin vs Venet or Baseldytsch vs Alemannisch, it is hard to come up with the answers.

He seems to implying the main differences are in pronunciation:
"Zlatiborian uses the Ijekavian pronounce, while Serbian uses the Ekavian. [...] Most of Zlatiborian words are differently stressed than Serbian.
This isn't relevant to Wikipedia since it's only written, not spoken. Where projects are moving towards spoken versions ([[meta:Wikisound]]), there's no reason to not record multiple versions with different pronunciations.
You can write any difference in pronunciation, except the really minor ones. How big are the differences? Are the dialect groups mutually intelligible? Are the differences comparable with English proper and London dialect? English and Scots? Spanish and Portuguese? We must know that to judge whether or not this Zlatiborian can get a Wikipedia on its own.
