Serbian term or phrase: Ciganska Platenica
I am playing a Serbian folk tune by the name of Ciganska Platenica. Can anyone help me with a translation of the title?

Thank you,
Simon
Simon Klejnstrup
Gypsy round dance/kolo
Explanation:
Hi Simon, actually it is pletenica not platenica, and it can mean "kolo", or medley/potpourri, but generally, it is used to denote a single kolo; there is an expression "Opleti kolo!", Play the kolo!, as in the imperative mood.
