Well, I have no possibility to stop people from doing it.And being a German
without speaking serbian does not help if I would try.
This is a political problem that we can not solve in OSM. And I am advocating
the serbian side so I see serbian as official language in Космет but I prefer
not to be involved in this mess. So, as promised, I am not making any edits in
Kosmet.
Back to topic.....if serbs are editing your data, revert it. If you also
damaging their data (name:sr etc) you are as bad as they are......eye on
eye.....If you think you are better, just repair your data and leave serbia
data. You said it happened 3 times......this is a very low number for the
tension that is in and around Kosovska Mitrovica

Thomas, I dont change the names in others places but only in Mitrovica, and you
know why, please help us to dont change the names but if they find in any place
and know the name they can tag name:sr it is not problem :D... otherwise is not
good to do this thinks...
