Significado
The ocean at great depths.
Contexto cultural
For many Serbians, the 'deep sea' is synonymous with the Montenegrin coast (Boka Kotorska, Budva). It is the primary summer destination. The sea is often used by poets like Jovan Dučić to represent longing and the infinite. 'Duboko more' appears as a symbol of the unreachable. The 'Ex-Yu' pop scene (especially from the 80s) is filled with songs about the deep blue sea, often representing a lost love or a summer romance. In some Balkan myths, the deep sea is home to 'vodenjaci' (water spirits). While more common in rivers, the sea's depth is also seen as a mystical realm.
