Goran Obradović added that his name is spelled Раде Шербеџија in Cyrillic, but this is fairly inconsequent because it's rarely used, only when he's mentioned in Serbian texts (as in texts from Serbia) which are tangential to him. Even adaptations like Sherbedgia are more known than the Cyrillic spelling. --Joy [shallot] 23:18, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I disagree. How is this inconsequential? He is an ethnic Serb who happened to be born in an area which is now in the independent Croatia, but which at the time of his birth was a part of Yugoslavia. The fact that he is not known by this name does not justify not including his cyrilic name in the brackets after his bolded name at the beggining of the text. The man is a Serb, and Serbian language is spelled primarely in cyrilic. Furthermore, he is very much a part of public life in Serbia. A glance at the Serbian newspaper proves this. Finally, you shouldn't forget that he has concerts in Serbia on a yearly basis. If I do not hear an argument that makes more sense than the above, I'll be adding the cyrilic name.

I have now placed the cyrilic back into the text, seeing that there were no objections. --Bora Nesic 03:40, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
