Nathan
I would leave your name the way it is. You see, in Serbia they use mostly the cyrillic phonts, so they tend to transcribe Western names, so that they can be transcribed in the Serbian cyrillic. However, in Bosnian, the commonly used alphabet is the latin script, Western names are left in their original spelling.
Hope this helps. Peace.

Neitan
It`s not quite possible to spell the exact way the TH sound in English has, but this is I believe the best way to spell it. Other would be Nejtan but Neitan is more accurate.

Nathan
This is a Hebrew name and Jews in Bosnia are spelling and pronouncing it in a Hebrew way. I know a Bosnian Jew by the name Nathan and he corrected my American way of pronouncing his name. He said the first "a" is pronounced more like Nottan (or at least that is the way it sounded to me) similar to Bosnian way of pronouncing this name anyway.
My colleague before me explained this well--In English, and in most languages that use Latin alphabet, including Bosnian, names are transferred unchanged.
