Not R.S. but R.B. and not Slavic but some Hungarian and (based on
what I know from TV) Austrian info: they use "a quarter [of]
eight" as well when meaning 7:15, and "three quarters [of] eight)"
means 7:45. (Note: the [of] part is my addition for readability)

While here in the more or less German speaking part of Switzerland
it is "a quarter past seven" and "a quarter to eight"
respectively.
