In Štrpce (Sirinićka župa, Šar Mountains), the Orthodox Shrovetide/Pre‑Lent day (Bele poklade/Pročka) is marked by the masked procession Vučari and a ritual‑comic performance ‘Ženidba Kraljevića Marka’. Masked young men ride and walk in a symbolic wedding procession through Štrpce and nearby villages, visit homes, gather gifts, stage the ‘marriage’ in the town centre with humorous skits, and in the evening light Shrovetide fires known locally as ‘mavanje kumbare’. The practice is recognized as living Serbian intangible heritage from Sirinićka župa.
