Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to examine the possibilities of handwriting analysis of documents written in different alphabets (Latin vs Cyrillic alphabeth, and vice versa). The professional standards used for evaluating handwriting and signature in the Latin alphabet can also be applied to those in the Cyrillic alphabet. The most important element is the movement of a writing instrument on a writing surface, leaving a trace on the paper that has an important role in identifying the scriptor.The obtained results have shown that it is possible to evaluate samples of handwritten text written in different alphabets. However, when interpreting the results we should take into consideration all the limitations suggested by handwriting and signature analysis professional standards, (e.g. photocopies, quality and quantity of materials, similarities in handwritings of various writers, diversity of the content etc.).
