Top Republika Srpska hotels
"The Housekeeper" is the first coloured egg. Mostly the red one. People keep it a year, until the next Easter. It is usual to colour eggs on the Great Friday before dawn. The most beautiful eggs are first drawn with wax then coloured in paint. It makes beautiful drawing on it.
The "pecenica" is something probably left from pagan times. Two mornings before the Christmas, on “Tucindan” we make "pecenica" on traditional way and eat in for Christmas breakfast. It is mostly a small pig but it could be a lamb too. Very tasty.
Rakija is Serbian brand, the national drink. It is made mostly from plumbs (“Sljivovica”) but there, is also, made from peers (“Kruskovaca” and “Vilijamovka”, apples (“Jabukovaca”), apricot (“Kajsijevaca”), quince (“Dunjevaca”)… You can buy in the shops industrial but the real experience is to drink the home made one. Be careful. It is very strong, sometime more than 50%.
Although there are two daily and several weekly newspapers in Republic of Srpska, everyone use to read newspapers from Serbia and Montenegro, especially “Vecernje novosti”, “Blic”, “Politika”, “Nin” and “Vreme” and everybody trusts them. Some of them has specialized parts for Republic of Srpska with news from it.
Even Bosnia and Herzegovina has its own leagues in almost sport, you will not found anyone supporting Bosnia and Herzegovina’s team. Especially the “National team”. Although, “Leotar” from Trebinje, Republic of Srpska, was the first Champion of common league of Bosnia and Herzegovina, each is fan of some Serbian team especially “Crvena Zvezda” (“Red Star”) and “Partizan” (“Partisan”). Everyone supports National team of Serbia and Montenegro and if they are playing against any Bosnia and Herzegovina National team, you’ll see a lot of supporters from Republic of Srpska singing songs, holding flags and support Serbia and Montenegro. As always, it mostly could be seen on football matches.
As everybody looks for Radovan Karadzic for, as I said, something very disputable, people in Srpska use to ware T-shirts with his portrait or provocative and funny writings as this one. It is some kind of protest because of man-hunt.The guy wars T-shirt with writing:SERBIAN HERO – DO NOT TOUCH HIM!
As everybody looks for Radovan Karadzic, the establisher of Republic of Srpska and its first President, for, hmmm, something very disputable, people in Srpska use to ware T-shirts with his portrait or provocative and funny writings as this one:“WE ALL KNOW BUT WE DON’T WANT TO GIVE HIM”
To be a Godfather is really something honour here. We use to say: "God in the Heaven, Godfather on the land". Godfather is NEVER a member of the family. Some family has Godfather from the other family for years.
If you come for a business trip don't be wonder if you business partner tell you "We will do it easily, let's go eat something first". It's the tradition here. Whole social, business, cultural and, why not, love life are happening here in coffee bars and restaurants. Simply, we love to eat and drink and there we feel "like a fish in a river".Prijatno i ziveli! (Bon Appetite and cheers)
Be careful, both men and women show their affection with three kisses on the alternate cheeks. Otherwise, someone will tell you: "God helps three times". Three is, in some way, national sign. All people in the World show two fingers as the sign of victory, we use to show three.
