SAN Podcast Episode 03: The Story of Serbian Coffee, Slatko, and Rakija

March 2, 2021

In this episode, SAN collaborator, musician and philologist Kristina Bijelic, talks about three rituals characteristic of the Serbian people, deeply rooted in the customs related to the family and social life of Serbs, which have lasted throughout the centuries until modern times: Serbian coffee, slatko (fruit preserves), and rakija (brandy).

On this topic, Kristina talks to Sacha Vigeant. Let’s see what inspired Sacha to say, “Whenever I make this coffee, the odour awakens in me a reminder of why I fell in love with Serbia and its history.”
