زمینه فرهنگی

Interliber is the largest book fair in Croatia, held every November in Zagreb. It is a major cultural event where people buy 'knjige' at a discount. The concept of 'fjaka' often involves sitting in the shade and 'čitati knjigu' to escape the afternoon heat. Croatian schools have 'lektira', a list of mandatory books students must read every month. The first Croatian book was printed in Glagolitic script in 1483, showing a long tradition of 'čitati knjigu'.
