preg_split problem

Hi, all. I have a poroblem, and I'd really appreciate if someone helped me to solve it.

The problem is, I want to take the first two sentences of a string. To do that i need to split them whenever a dot occurs, and the join the first two array occurences in a new string but I have a problem beacuse the dot in the Croatian languages is not always used a sentence delimiter, but is often used in conjuction with numbers and acronyms. So I wanted to use a regular expression to split a string on every dot ocurence but not when a dot is precedeed by a number or a 'd' or a 'o'.
This is my best shot at it:

$string='Glavna skupština Društva će se održati 27.12.2007. (četvrtak) u 11 sati u prostorijama Doma hrvatske voj­ske u Lori u Splitu.Atlas turistička agencija d.d. stekla je 22. i 23. studenog 2007. godine 2800 vlastitih dionica.';
$uvod=preg_split('/((d\.o\.o\.)!|(d\.d\.)!|[0-9]!)|\./', $string);
print_r($uvod);

But it doesn't work right. If someone knows how to slove this problem. Any help will be really appreciated.

TIA

Nikola
