  abstract  = {Machine translation between closely related languages is less challenging and
	exibits a smaller number of translation errors than translation between distant
	languages, but there are still obstacles which should be addressed in order to
	improve such systems.
	This work explores the obstacles for machine translation systems between
	closely related South Slavic languages, namely Croatian, Serbian and Slovenian.
	Statistical systems for all language pairs and translation directions are
	trained using parallel texts from different domains, however mainly on spoken
	language i.e. subtitles. For translation between Serbian and Croatian, a
	rule-based system is also explored. It is shown that for all language pairs and
	translation systems, the main obstacles are differences between structural
	properties.},
