The ministry officially requested the recognition in 2021. The request described the whole process - from growing plums to using the brandy. It also described how widespread a tradition the alcohol is, the ministry said.

Sljivovica has been made by hand in Serbia for hundreds of years, over time becoming part of its national identity, experts say. The tradition remains common in rural areas of the Balkan country despite an increase in modern distilleries.
專家說，Sljivovica 在塞爾維亞已經手工制作了數百年，隨著時間的推移成為其民族特征的一部分。盡管現代釀酒廠有所增加，但這一傳統(tǒng)在巴爾干國家的農村地區(qū)仍然很普遍。
 
Sljivovica is made from locally grown fruits: plums. The brandy is made and enjoyed by families and local communities.

Sljivovica 也是塞爾維亞重要的出口產品，也是吸引游客的地方。近年來出現了生產 sljivovica 和其他水果白蘭地的小企業(yè)，提供具有創(chuàng)意設計的現代包裝。
 
For improved quality, sljivovica is sometimes kept in oak wood containers that color the liquid to a dark brown. The brandy improves as it ages.
