Use of Subtitles for Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian

Every few years or so question is asked on this list if Serbian, Bosnian, and Croatian
languages are one language or different languages.  I do not want to again ask this
question, but my question is a little bit like this one.  Could anyone on this list who is
familiar with this region tell me if subtitles are used when someone who is Serbian is
shown speaking on Croatian television, or when someone who is Croatian speaks
on Serbian broadcast?  I know that each viewing audience would probably
understand what the person is saying, but does the official government position that
proclaims Serbian and Croatian languages are two different languages also require,
as matter of form, such subtitles in support of this official position?
