The line, "Ironically the agreement also stated that the future language should develop naturally, although it was being forged by the force of political will and pressure from both dialects." I fear this is original research, or commentary from the original editor. All languages change with time and no "forging by force" ever stopped French or Spanish changing yet their academies have been around centuries. Whether you have a language like English, demotic, or French, with an academy for an authority, nobody can prevent changes but concerning Serbo-Croatian, the mixed distribution of all the nations covered by that term meant that as one region changes its dialect, it takes with it all that speak it locally regardless of ethnicity and all this independently of one's own nationals hundreds of kilometres away. The idea that Serbian and Croatian could move away from each other when both within a Serbo-Croat scope can only have been admitting that internal scholars with influence over their nation held linguistic power and if so, no attempts to standardize a centralized tongue would have emerged, ie. no Serbo-Croat.
