Why do they swear in English?

There tends to be quite a strong correlation between being dislikeable and being Serbian, it's a handy guide.

Goran used to swear in his mother tongue and the Serbs didn't seem to like it (if he was to be believed) -

They know you don't speak Serbian or Spanish. They speak in English so that you can understand. A bit of gratitude wouldn't go amiss.

That's probably it. I was going to Croatia on holiday this this year, before the virus struck, I hope to be going next year now. Really need to sort out this Serbo-Croat confusion befre then.

Yeah, having been to Croatia several times you really don't want to be confusing them with Serbia.

I went to Pula a few years back. Very nice. They won't take kindly to you calling them Serbians though, so best get that clear before you head over there.
