When a Montenegrin citizen graduated from university in Montenegro, he never imagined that he would have to prove his knowledge of his native language to get a job.
The situation becomes even more absurd when you consider that it was legally impossible to obtain such proof from licensed institutions, despite the explicit request of the Institution of Blood Transfusion of Montenegro, where he sought employment. Namely, a certificate of knowledge of the Montenegrin language can only be issued to foreign nationals, which S.T. certainly is not.
