Except shifting language would be a one off cost where as you would
have to keep translating all the new scientific papers (and there are
a lot) if you wanted education in a non majpr language to keep up. Do
translations of Nature into Serbo-Croatian even exist?

See the relevant wikipedia article for the mess. Serbo-Croatian is
convenient and people generally know what you are talking about.
Central South Slavic diasystem is rather less well known.
