Kultureller Hintergrund

Ideas are often discussed over 'duga kava' (long coffee). If you have an idea, you invite someone for coffee to talk about it. In Dalmatia, having an idea often involves 'pomalo' (taking it easy). An idea isn't rushed; it's matured. In the capital, 'imati ideju' is often linked to entrepreneurship and the 'startup' culture. Istrians often have ideas related to gastronomy and tourism, reflecting their rich culinary heritage.
