Feeling the need for water.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Tap water is safe and common. If you say you are thirsty, people will point you to the nearest tap or fountain. The 'bevanda' (red wine with plain water) is a traditional way to quench thirst during a long lunch. A glass of water is always served with coffee. It is considered rude to serve coffee without it. Offering a drink is the first thing a Croatian host does. Refusing might be seen as slightly odd, so even a 'malo vode' is good.
