What ćevapi are
Ćevapi are a grilled dish of minced meat from Southeast Europe, considered a national dish of Serbia and of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The name comes from Ottoman Turkish kebap. (source)
Sarajevo-style ćevapi are made only from beef, in pieces about 6 to 10 cm long and 1 to 2 cm across.
Ćevapi vs ćevapčići vs kebab
Ćevapi is the plural, and the singular ćevap is rarely used. Ćevapčići is the diminutive form, used more often in Serbia and increasingly in Bosnia. (source)
Ćevapi share a name root with kebab. They are minced meat shaped by hand or funnel, not cubes of meat.

Questions people ask
What are ćevapi?
Ćevapi are grilled sausages of minced meat, served in somun or lepinja flatbread with chopped onion. They are a national dish of Serbia and of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Sarajevo style uses only beef, and Banja Luka style joins four in a row. (source)
What is the difference between ćevapi and ćevapčići?
Ćevapi is the plural of ćevap, and ćevapčići is the diminutive. The small form is used more often in Serbia and increasingly in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In practice both names describe the same small grilled minced-meat sausages, so a pack of either is the same kind of product. (source)
Are ćevapi the same as kebab?
They share a name root. Ćevapi come from the Ottoman Turkish word kebap but are a separate dish: minced meat shaped into small cylinders and grilled, not meat cubes on a skewer. Related dishes include Romanian mititei and Bulgarian kebapche. (source)
How do I cook frozen ćevapi?
General guidance, follow the package: thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then grill or pan-cook over medium heat, turning, until browned and cooked through. Ground meat is safe at an internal 160 F (71 C). Our data holds no package instructions for these products.
What do you serve with ćevapi?
Serve five to ten pieces in lepinja or somun, with chopped raw onion, kajmak and ajvar. Chopped onion is served raw. Yogurt or sour cream is also served in some styles. Ajvar is on our shelves; ask in store about bread and kajmak. (source)
