Why is it večere and not večera?

Because posle requires the genitive case in Serbian.

The base form is:

• večera = dinner

But after posle you need the genitive singular:

• posle večere = after dinner

This is very common in Serbian:

• posle ručka = after lunch
• posle škole = after school
• posle posla = after work

So večere is not a different word, just the correct case form after posle.
