Keto friendliness
This cuisine offers many excellent protein and fat sources, but requires careful navigation to avoid common carb-laden staples.
Top ingredients
Grilled meats like ćevapi and pljeskavica, cured meats, kajmak, hard cheeses, and fresh salads with oil and vinegar are excellent keto foundations.
Danger zones
Beware of sarma, punjene paprike, gibanica, proja, bean soups, and anything served with bread, as these are significant carb traps.
Best for
Best for high-protein keto dieters who enjoy grilled meats and dairy, and are comfortable asking for modifications or skipping sides.
