Greetings

In Varvarin, it is customary to greet people with a handshake and maintain eye contact. When meeting someone for the first time, it is polite to use their title (Mr., Mrs., etc.) followed by their surname until invited to use their first name.

Dining Etiquette

When dining with locals, it is respectful to wait for the host to invite you to begin eating. Additionally, keeping your hands on the table (but not your elbows), and using utensils properly are signs of good manners. It is also common to offer a toast before starting a meal.

Dress Code

Dress modestly and appropriately for the occasion, as Serbians tend to take pride in their appearance. Casual wear is acceptable in most social settings, but during visits to religious sites or formal events, it is advisable to dress more conservatively.
