Capitalization of foreign proper nouns

Serbo-Croatian grammar requires that only the first word of a multi word name of a place or an object is capitalized. For example, "Stari most" is a name of a bridge in Bosnia-Herzegovina.



If we don't translate the name to English do we capitalize both words as "Stari Most" or do we keep the native language capitalization?
