In formal situations, a man waits for a woman to initiate a handshake. When friends and relatives greet, they may embrace and kiss cheeks. Croats kiss once or twice—once to each cheek—while Serbs generally add a third kiss. Many people brush cheeks and "kiss the air" rather than actually kissing the cheek.” and “Hosts usually offer a drink or a snack, and hostesses make Turkish coffee and offer biscuits or cake, usually homemade. It is impolite to refuse refreshments. At small gatherings, newly arrived guests greet each person separately. Evening visits usually end before 11 p.m., except on special occasions. Hosts who live in an apartment accompany departing guests out the door; those who live in a house sometimes accompany them a little way down the street.”
