Gradually add sparkling water while mixing the meat mixture thoroughly with your hands. Knead for at least 10-15 minutes until the mixture is very sticky and well-combined.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up.

Remove the meat mixture from the refrigerator. Shape it into small, finger-sized sausages (about 8-10 cm long and 2 cm thick).

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.

While the ćevapčići are grilling, warm the flatbreads on the grill for the last minute or two.
