As far as I know ex-YU(SRB,CRO,SLO,BiH,MAK) region is not at that sothern lists.
But if anyone needs local language we may provide it
. "Papers" require translation if "....any acft concerned..." Easy and it works pefrectly.
AS we have already dicussed here on pprune, solution that only english is available
is not legal.
Because of the constitution issues.
Each country has constitution , where is declared officila language. Everyone has a right to get answer or to ask any public institution on that language. ATC as public service must obey to that rule.
So we must offer service on the same frequency service at both languages. Translation is safe net, and is mandatory.
why such problem exists at such high level at some other coutries I do not know?
Probably pure numbers and lack of available time for atcos to translate.
when you have six airfrance captains( who are french citizens by the way) and one british airways, of course that BAW captain will notice that " too many non english conversations..."
Here at Balkan you have six Lufthansa' planes and one local( under direct Lufthansa control
) so everyone speaks english
Pure example a few years ago at Sarajevo. "evening hub"
1.Lufthansa
2. Austrian( lufthansa is owner for those misinformed
)
3. Croatia ( Lufthansa is not owner but acts as it is
)
4. Adria ( see under No3)
5. BH airlines ( property of Turkih airlines, who works closely with Lufthansa
)
6. BH airlines (property of Turkih airlines, who works closely with Lufthansa
)
7. JAT ( indepedent at level that Lufthansa allows
)
and sometimes, Condor, charter.....
