I can read this but can kindle? Really interested.
As for OP question, I think epub reader is better if it cant read special letters of your language.
Kindles display all Romanian characters (see below) fine, so I assume those used in Slavonic languages shouldn't be a problem either.

Ă, ă
Â, â
Î, î
Ș, ș
Ț, ț

ETA: On this blog I found the below image.

Kindle 3 finally got a font with broader range of Unicode characters. These include Cyrillic, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean and Japanese. I’ve done some quick tests and to me it looks like characters are there. However I didn’t do a full scale test of all possible characters from these planes. Some people on forums and in comments complained about poor support of Chinese and Korean but so far there has been little specifics.

There were some claims that non-Latin characters display the same in all typefaces. I’ve verified it and it does seem to be true for Asian characters and definitely not true for Cyrillic. Here are some screenshots showing different typefaces in Russian text.
