Hoi,
The refusal of the Montenegrin was not a mess. Furthermore this matter 
is not closed with the denial of this project.

I sincerely hope that your vision of the future will never happen. To me 
is is a horrible view of the future. One single language with many 
cultures doomed as a result. No thanks. NB where to go on a holiday, 
every thing is the same ... BRRRR

Thanks,
