I've just published the "Serbian Cyrillic PART 2" article on my blog. The first one was about upright, and this second one is about true italics:

Italics proved to be harder to describe, taking a month to assemble this instructional study. The thing is that italics are still not strictly established in every aspect, so I had to research historical sources, the official orthography, other Slavic-Cyrillic, modern studies of Serbian handwriting, and personal opinions of type designers and common people.
In addition to being two blog posts, I am also considering putting these two articles into one downloadable PDF which would cost a few bucks. For those who haven't seen the first part, here is the link for it:
