Like Hygge, but Serbian
The Serbs are unlikely to ever find a way to market and sell Inat like the Danish did with Hygge, but that is another example of this peculiar way of life. This attitude of proud defiance is almost always at odds with what is best for the nation, but it has the contradictory knock-on of holding the nation together in the most difficult times.
So what is Inat? It is a mother shouting at their child for bad behaviour, but secretly being proud of the kid for whatever it is he or she did. It is taking the wrong road, but ploughing forward regardless. It is having a BBQ on a roof or going out for a run as bombs fall around you, the ultimate middle finger to seemingly unsurmountable odds.
