Common language spells divisions in the Balkans Nicotine addicts in Bosnia are warned three times on their cigarette packets that "Pusenje ubija" ("Smoking kills") -- but this isn't an attempt to hammer home the health message.The warning is printed in each of Bosnia's three official languages, Bosnian, Serbian and Croatian, even though the words are the same in each case, albeit one written using a different but widely known alphabet.But the linguistic distinction is seen by many as artificial and driven by a wish to stir up nationalism.A group of intellectuals from Bosnia, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia drew up a declaration in late March claiming they speak a "common language" in the four ex-Yugoslav republics."It's as clear as day," said Fedja Isovic, a Bosnian playwright behind a popular regional sitcom, in which he says more than 300 Balkan actors "all speak their mother tongue" without any difficulty of comprehension between dialects."Only linguistic-nationalist hordes think differently," he told AFP
