Resolution VIII/14 (2002)

Romanization of Serbian Cyrillic

The Conference,

Recalling that resolution 11 of the Third United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names concerned, inter alia, the romanization of the Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic alphabet of Yugoslavia,1

Recognizing that the term “Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic” is no longer appropriate,

Recommends that future documents of the United Nations Conferences on the Standardization of Geographical Names and the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names use the term “Serbian Cyrillic” instead.


1 – As of 4 February 2003, the official name of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was changed to Serbia and Montenegro.
