Whilst I take your point about the inclusion of non English characters in the Name Index "index line" I am uncertain as to how far one can extend this principle. Should it include French accentuated characters, or Greek, Russian etc.? I am not sure. The names are there, of course, click the angle brackets at the start and end of the line
Should not these characters only be included in a new Croation version - something for the future?
