المعنى
Purchasing dairy at a store.
خلفية ثقافية
Milk is often sold in 1-liter plastic bags in Serbia, which is unusual for many Westerners. You need a special plastic container at home to hold the bag once it's opened. The 'Dragstor' (Drugstore) culture means you can 'kupiti mleko' at 3 AM in most major Serbian cities. These are 24/7 small shops. While milk is for coffee, 'Jogurt' is for food. If someone asks you to 'kupiti mleko' for breakfast, they specifically mean for cereal or coffee, not for their burek. In villages, 'kupiti mleko' might still mean going to a neighbor's house with your own glass bottle.
Check the Fat Content
In Serbia, milk is categorized by fat percentage. 2.8% is the standard 'crveno' (red) or 'plavo' (blue) pack.
Expiration Dates
Always check the 'rok trajanja'. Fresh milk (sveže mleko) lasts only a few days.

The 'Kesa' Trick
If you buy milk in a bag (kesa), cut only a tiny corner to prevent it from spilling in the holder.
