I think the closest thing to smetana that you can get in a grocery store these days is KEFIR. I really enjoyed all the food talk and it brings back memories of my mom's cooking. We ate Zgance a lot during Lent. She usually added sauteed onions to it for flavor. Zafrig was added to almost every soup she made and we had a soup from scratch as a starter for most every evening meal. I married a Minnesota girl (Norwegian/German) but she had a two week cooking course from my mom after we married, and she learned to make a lot of my favorites. Thanks to that experience and a cookbook from St Joseph the Worker Church in Gary IN my family still enjoys Croatian cooking. The next time I visit my daughter and son in St Paul I'll have to take them to that VFW in South St Paul.
