I can't tell which form is more natural to the Serbian end users,
that's why I'm asking the translators.

For now, if a phrase "24. јануар" ("24. januar") is correct in Serbian
then I suggest to leave it unchanged, at least for now. You may rethink
it later and if you find it useful to have two cases and worth the effort
we may apply the change in the next development cycle which ends in
6 months.

The same I'd suggest for Czech and Slovak languages unless they change
their minds in the coming days.

Yes, this has been discussed and we have decided that is too complex.
The aim of strftime() is to format a date. Using it in sentences is
too much. Of course this is nice if a formatted date can be used
in a sentence but this is not obligatory to implement it in strftime().
