The whole reason this is so ridiculous is that you are threatening to
remove your status simply b/c of this one thing.

If you don't know Serbian (nor "Zlatiborian"), I am sure that you can
find someone to translate it.

Oh, come on, that is ridiculous.
It's not as if the Board voted to accept a Zlatiborian Wikipedia.
No, we understand it. This is the community decision and we are worry
about the future of such proposals and possible accepting of them.
Just because there is a proposal, and a handful
of people support it,
that's a really bad reason to threaten such a thing.
And don't tell me this isn't a threat -- it very clearly is. You're
hoping that by doing this, somebody "official" will get worried and
intervene re: Zlatiborian.
That's very... well, it's not a nice tactic.
No, we started some process and it is not easy to stop it. Almost for
sure we would not be officially related with other local chapters and
WMF.
If you guys decide not to participate in
Wikimedia, then perhaps you
should remove your votes from Requests_for_new_languages? You can't
have it both ways, man.
We would continue to work on Wikipedia, this is not the issue. As
Wikipedians, we have the right to vote about it.
But, you are right in some way. We would talk about this voting soon
and maybe remove our votes. There is no sense to tolerate insults from
you and similar people. But, this is WikiPedian decision and this not
related to local chapter issues.
