The Declaration on the Common Language (Serbo-Croatian: Deklaracija o zajedničkom jeziku / Декларација о заједничком језику) was issued in 2017 by a group of intellectuals and NGOs from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia who were working under the banner of a project called "Language and Nationalism".[1] The Declaration states that Bosniaks, Croats, Montenegrins and Serbs have a common standard language of the polycentric type.[1]
Before any public presentation, the Declaration was signed by over 200 prominent writers, scientists, journalists, activists and other public figures from the four countries.[2][3] After being published, it has been signed by over 10,000 people from all over the region.[4] The Declaration on the Common Language is an attempt to counter nationalistic factions.[5] Its aim is to stimulate discussion on language without nationalism and to contribute to the reconciliation process.[6]
