Frankly, to me this entire conversation sounds like much ado about nothing. Even on Serbian Wikipedia noone actually said that he actually needs Latin alphabet, and a few people said that they are for Latin because maybe someone would need it. So I don't see why introducing it.
This is not true. We voted about it last summer. One person explicitly asked for Latin alphabet [[sr:Корисник:Sergivs]], two said that it should be used, six voted against (seventh person voted after the conclusion of voting). I asked about consequences of voting at wikimeda-l list and answer was clear: if Latin alphabet wouldn't be included into sr.wikipedia, it would be tyranny of majority. After all, we can vote about it again and situation in this moment would be more pro-Latin.
Nikola, your political reasons for obstruction of introduction of Latin alphabet into Serbian Wikipedia are clear. But, Serbian Wikipedia should be used by all Serbian speaking people, not only by one political faction.
