Drink
Serbia’s national drink is rakija šljivovica (plum brandy).
Among Serbs, it is considered to have healing
properties, heartily recommended for both external and
“internal” use. A rakija is also made from apricot, grape
(called loza), pear (viljamovka), quince, apple, honey
(medovača), while travarica, komovica and kleka are made
when brandy is mixed with medicinal herbs. If you want

Brandy) and Zlatna dolina (Golden Valley).
