Serbian term or phrase: vezivanje i drešenje
Ovako se dakle, udostoji sveti otac naš božanstvene vlasti učenja, vezivanja i drešenja, apostolskoga dostojanstva.

Is that "binding and loosing" as in Matthew? Verily I say unto you, whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be what has been bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be what has been loosed in heaven.

English translation:binding and loosing
Explanation:
Biding and loosing as you suggested sounds plausible, but there are also some folk customs where children "bind" their parents until they "loose" themselves by giving children presents. Could you provide additional context, perhaps?
