Cyrillic Is Not Yet Museum-Worthy
I am writing regarding the opening of the Museum of Cyrillic in Rača and its permanent exhibition. I believe we will truly preserve Cyrillic if we use it daily, in official and public use. Official correspondence of state bodies with individuals, and among themselves, is mandatory by the Constitution. This also applies to social bodies and institutions, the press, television, and publishing. It is especially important that textbooks and other publications are printed in Cyrillic. This would have an effect on citizens and the public use of the Cyrillic script. When it comes to the idea that Cyrillic is obsolete, look into the school notebooks of third and fourth graders, and you will see that 90 percent of the texts are written in Latin. The letters are neither large nor small, neither printed nor handwritten, without diacritics... Why is this so? Where are the teachers? As for the Serbian language, it is in official use throughout the territory of the Republic of Serbia, regardless of the national composition of the population in its individual parts. - Radisav M.
