Albanian at the top of the infobox?

I just noticed that recently the Albanian name of the country was added at the top of the infobox. The official language of Montenegro is Montenegrin and both alphabets (latin and cyrillic) are official, while Serbian, Bosniac, Albanian and Croatian are in "official use".

I believe that usually only the official languages are mentioned at the top of the infobox, so in my opinion Albanian should be removed.

I believe it was added since in the Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian and Montenegrin Latin scripts it's written the same and the Cyrillic script is the same with Serbian Cyrillic. It's actually mentioned in the first two citations in the lede (A and B). So Albanian was unique compared to the other Serbo-Croatian languages in my understanding, but also the "official use" needs to be explained to what actual level is.

Hi @S.G ReDark, I completely agree with your statement:

(...) but also the "official use" needs to be explained to what actual level is.

The confusing thing here is definitely what "official use" means, especially since the constitution distinguishes official language and languages in official use.
