Absolutely, a great example! I was just on holiday in Sarajevo (a lovely place -- I'd highly recommend going there before they resume shooting at each other). It's full of insignificant little differences which really drive this point home. Where the UK/US split can create a figurative minefield of idiomatic confusion, the Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian split has created literal minefields. Annoying!
