No visit to Serbia is complete without tasting some of the delicious dishes offered by local cuisine. In fast-food kiosks as well as restaurants, you can eat PLjESKAVICA or CEVAPI. They are both made of grilled minced meat, in a special kind of bread and a lot of spices. At a kiosk, it should not cost more than 1.5 euro, and is usually enough for a good meal. Some special kinds (exp. filled pljeskavica or rolled cevap) will cost little bit more.
