Then again I'm pretty sure that Serbs don't have the letter to
accurately represent the weird sound that Dutch produce for letter G,
so you cannot get it entirely correct either way. You could perhaps
write "kgh" (кбх)  :) :) :)

Nobody will have the slightest idea how to pronounce it (but that
won't be any different from trying to repeat the sound after hearing
it :) But it somewhat fits the mouth position used when pronouncing
that sound.

Not to be taken too seriously of course...
