सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The 'Slava' is a patron saint day where 'Dobro došli' is heard hundreds of times as guests enter the home. Hospitality is tied to 'Čojstvo i junaštvo' (humanity and bravery); welcoming a guest is a matter of honor. The 'merak' (pleasure) of welcoming someone often involves long coffee sessions. The greeting might be followed by an offer of 'meze' (appetizers) like kulen or cheese.
