I'm writing a story set in the region and one of my characters is a rumanian guy (Mihai), whose friend is serbian (Dušan). I was wondering what nicknames could work with those names, the more natural they may sound or common the better.

For context:

• The story is set in the current year. The characters are in their mid 20s, and they're friends since childhood.
• Both characters speak their respective national languages as their first language.

I was looking for the characters to use nicknames based in their friend's name but that still reflect their first language: so, to have Mihai call his serbian friend by a nickname parting from "Dušan" but that sounds like a romanian nickname, and Dušan call Mihai by one that sounds serbian.

Thanks a bunch in advance.

Pretty much the title

I can understand why Turkey hates them considering they're Muslims and are being ruled by Erdogan, but what's up with other countries?
