Per the ARRL Letter dated September 27, 2012
    <http://www.arrl.org/arrlletter%3Fissue%3D2012-09-27>:

In other words, unless you are working for WAE awards or CQ Marathon
Z6 counts for nothing and operations using Z6 calls are considered
"pirate" by Serbian authorities who continue to assert sovereignty
over the area.
