English term or phrase: topping out ceremony
This is when the roof is completed on a building and there is a ceremony to celebrate this, even though the building is not finished yet. I know there is something similar in the Balkans, but how do you say it?

I think this and "pokrivanje kuce" are both valid, slightly different customs. I do like this "lifting of the horns", though, I had never heard it before!
