It says, "When the communists get in power you can either go across the sea or pray to God."
They can send my reward to Free Republic.

It looks like the mathematical definition of a continuous function.

Okay, I see that. Does require that the function is continuous in the neighborhood of the limit.
To: kosciusko51
Right, a def of continuity over an interval is that left and right handed limits at a point are equal for every point on the interval.

The First Transcription
We have two basic sources for the inscription: the version that appeared in the Bulletin (just after the above-translated text), and the hand-written version that appears in the mairies PDF. Firstly, heres the SAF version:

All the same, I have to point that this SAF transcription isnt really doing justice to the lettering on the rock. For a start, the first letter resembles a lower case d more than a D; several of the letters seem to have backwards N shapes; and so forth.
Even so, this first transcription was (without much doubt) done in good faith some years ago, and we must be aware that the process of cleaning it up and preparing it for public view in 2017-2019 may possibly have added a layer of interpretation to these carvings that wasnt originally there.

The Second Transcription In the following version of the hand-transcription released by the mairie, I have rendered the back-to-front N as the Cyrillic capital I , and the back-to-front S as (the Unicode character 01A7), etc. All of which is not perfect, sure, but its perhaps tolerably close: GROCAR dREAR DIOƧEEVbIO ARVRFOИEƧLAΘENEL PEИ AbEИEИEƧΘ182E GEИbICEИG EKGE (left-facing crescent moon shape) AZOMOARΘ PA ꙋCDOFET dAROA AIELAChEODCET DA AOMA CVLESELDdA RE IdIMEVƧMEƧ ARPRIGILOd17(cross on top of a heart)87 ObIIE bRIƧbVILA ALVQ4AKbORSIV .
