RO - Rožaje
In 2020, MNE sightings were still quite rare, but in 2021 they became more frequent for me. However, I think that all of them can be traced back to one and the same community.

RO - Rožaje
Another car from MNE, again from Rožaje. And pretty sure " long-distance registered", so that the vehicle was probably never in MNE. That already diminishes the joy a little. I would really be happy to see another code again!
Seen in Leipzig, about 1450km from home.
The two saints are definitely Nestor and Demetrius - that much I could read on the wall. But the writing of their names puzzles me.
Doesn't seem church Slavonic or old Romanian cyrillic or any version of the Greek alphabet that I know of.
In 1585, this monastery in Bucharest was dedicated to Xeropotamou Monastery on Mount Athos by Wallachian prince Mihnea Turcitul, and remained so until 1864.
So the language is most likely what it seems - Greek: Agios Nestor and Agios Dimitrios.
But why is the first letter in the word for Saint "O" instead of "A"?
There are a few ligatures:
"N" with "E" in "Nestor";
"O" and "C" merged into something looking a little like "Q" in "Agios" and "Dimitrios";
Greek (and Slavonic) letter for G ("Г") in "Agios" seems ligated with some other letter that I can't identify in front of it.
In "Dimitrios", "τ" and "ρ" might be ligated. Also, in Dimitrios, the first "i" is written with a character identical to the Latin one, while the second "i" is written with the cyrillic "и", which is a hint the letters might be Romanian cyrillic which used both. But the language is not Romanian and there are glyphs not used in this script, as far as I know.
Also, either cyrillic "С" or Greek lunate sigma is used for latin "s".
STENA BRITANNICA (IMO: 9419175) is a Ro-Ro/Passenger Ship and is sailing under the flag of United Kingdom. Her length overall (LOA) is 240 meters and her width is 32 meters.
In summer season many long nighttrains reach the romanian Black Sea coast during morning hours. They are carried by electric loco to Constanţa. From there they get a class 63 or 65 loco "Jimmy" that haules the train on the branch line Constanţa - Mangalia to the coastal villages. Train 1992 from Timişoara nears on it's "telegraph road" Pescăruş halt. The passengers prepare for getting of in Neptun, that will be the next station stop. In train direction on left hand side they have an excellent view to the Sea at this point.
One telegraph cable in front of the engine was removed electronically.
