Zapis is the sixth studio album from Serbian and former Yugoslav hard rock band Kerber, released in 1996.
Unlike their older albums, Zapis was released on audio cassette only on its initial run, however promotional LPs were sent to radio stations in late 1995, but due to the limitations of the vinyl format, the tracks "Šta mogu pesme" and "Pronađi mesto" were left off. It was released on CD for the first time in the Sabrana dela box set.
A zapis (, , literally "inscription") is a tree in Serbia that is sacred for the village within whose bounds it is situated. A cross is inscribed into the bark of each zapis. Most of these trees are large oaks. Prayers are offered to God under the crown of the zapis, where also church services may be held, especially on village festivals observed to supplicate God for protection against destructive weather conditions. In settlements without a church, ceremonies such as weddings and baptisms used to be conducted under the tree. Folk tradition maintains that great misfortune will happen to anyone who dares to fell a zapis. According to Serbian scholar Veselin Čajkanović, the zapis is inherited from the pre-Christian religion of the Serbs, in which it had been used as a temple.
