I think he is trying to say that there is no option to use Serbian Latin. For example, if you translate something from any language to "Serbian", it gives you the result in Cyrillic alphabet. Only. The problem is that Serbian language uses TWO standard alphabets: Cyrillic and Latin. Also, it seems that a big majority of people who use Serbian, use the Latin alphabet, so they would then need to get the translated result and "transliterate" it into Latin script...
There should be an option to have two scripts for Serbian: Serbian Latin and Serbian Cyrillic.
