Bedeutung
A sugary dessert item.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Slavski kolač' is a central part of the Serbian Orthodox Slava. It is a decorated bread, not a dessert, and is blessed by a priest. Pastry shops (poslastičarnice) often serve 'oriental' sweets like baklava and tulumba, which are extremely sweet (preslatki). This region has a strong Austro-Hungarian influence, meaning 'kolač' often refers to strudels (štrudla) or cream-filled pastries. There is a growing trend of 'healthy' or 'raw' cakes, which are still called 'sladak kolač' but use dates or stevia instead of sugar.
Ordering
When in doubt, just point and say 'Ovaj sladak kolač, molim vas.' It works every time!
Hospitality
If a host offers you a 'kolač', it is polite to take at least a small piece, even if you aren't hungry.
