Contexto cultural

The concept of 'Čašćavanje' is inseparable from celebrating success. If you are the one who succeeded, you are the host of the celebration. Business successes are often celebrated with long lunches that can last for hours, emphasizing relationship building over the transaction itself. Passing the last exam (diplomiranje) is often celebrated with a 'trubači' (brass band) appearing right in front of the faculty building. Major sports successes are celebrated 'na balkonu' (on the balcony) of the City Assembly, where thousands of people gather.
