More historical trivia: the area occupied by Yugoslavia managed to be on the dividing line many times, over the years.
Western Roman Empire (Roman Catholic, Roman alphabet)/Eastern (Byzantine) Empire (Orthodox, Cyrillic alphabet) [4th-c. -> ]
Holy Roman Empire/Arab->Turkish Empires [8th-c. -> ]
Austro-Hungarian Empire/Ottoman Empire [15th-c. -> ]
Axis/Allied (WWII)

Indeed, Slovenia got out quickly... Serbian war against Slovenia lasted for about 5 days... probably the shortest war ever. There were no casualties, perhaps only a few tiny cars squashed by armoured tanks...
(or was it the England - Zanzibar that was the shortest war ever?)
Oh, about Welsh... I know some! (Ahem) Llansantffraid. Cwmbran Town. Aberystwyth. Conah`s Quay... okay, this last one is easy,
I`d love to go to Wales one day...
And Polish... that is one wacky language,
Sczeczin... I think that`s the name of one city... But the Hungarian is also cool... Zalaegerszeg. Szekeszfehervar...
And there`s always Croatian... the city block where I live is called Trnsko,
Translated to English, it would mean "Thornville". Kind of cool...
And those of you who visited the website probably noticed that the Croatian term for Star Trek is Zvjezdane staze...
