For an ordinary military, police or service uniform people in Serbia say uniforma; odora in this sense is Croatian (policijska odora, vojna odora). In Serbia odora occurs in literary language and in ceremonial phrases (svečana odora, vojnička odora in older writers) and as a general word for clerical dress; the specific terms are mantija (the everyday robe of a priest or monk) and odežda (liturgical vestments).
