Sofia, try Jasmin Bakery in Buechel ... it's run by a Bosnian family and specializes in Yugoslavian breads. Also, check its neighbors in the Old Bardstown Road international zone:
Jasmin BakeryThis bright, busy bakery features delicious Eastern European breads, soft, puffy loaves and hero buns; four photos of Bosnian-style gyros and burgers on the wall form the “menu,” and they’re first-rate.
2205 Steier Lane, 458-0013
Golden Key International GroceryGrandpappy of all the international businesses along the Buechel strip, Alik Gold’s shop offers smoked fish, caviar, sausages and salami and specialty groceries from Russia and all over Europe.
3821 Bardstown Road, 485-9009
Borsalino Coffee & European Pastry DeliThis colorful, inviting coffee shop would fit right in with your Heine’s, Vint or Highland Coffee in style, but the friendly hosts and tasty pastries reveal its Bosnian heritage.
