Suddenly, the glass in a huge aquarium behind them suddenly smashes and gallons of water pour over them and onto the floor.
The shocked pair stand up and look down at their soaking wet clothes and at the water swirling around the floor of the cafe.
Igor Vucurovic, a worker at the cafe, told Central European News (CEN) there were no fish inside the aquarium which had been especially made for the cafe by a firm in the Serbian capital city of Belgrade.

Igor told CEN: 'It was probably a factory mistake in the glass. The aquarium was new it had only been there for two days so we had no time to put fish in it.
'The men are not injured and luckily there were no children there. But the damage was huge, between 6,000 EUR (5,130 GBP) and 7,000 EUR (6,000 GBP).
'They will not give us a new aquarium or cover the damages because it seems it's not their fault as they apparently purchased the glass somewhere else.
'We have no insurance. The damages were so high because the water ruined a lot of new stuff and unique furniture.'
Igor said the cafe was now open again, after extensive mopping and cleaning, and the incident had become a real talking point among customers.
Social media user Luka Vasov Gazivoda joked:'Drinking coffee with the fishes',
Djuro Sekulic said:'They deserve to drink coffee for free for a year.'
