History

Perspective

Serbia inherited about a third of the diplomatic facilities that belonged to the former Yugoslavia. In period from 2001 to 2006 embassies in Chile, Colombia, Congo-Kinshasa, Ghana, Guinea, Lebanon, Mongolia, North Korea, Pakistan, Thailand, Venezuela, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe were closed due to financial or reciprocal reasons. In 2008 the Government of Serbia made a decision to close consulates in Bari, Graz, and Malmö,[2] and later that year Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremić announced a plan to open a consulate-general in Knin (Croatia)[3] during the autumn and an embassy in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia).[4] Foreign Minister also announced that some diplomatic missions might be closed but also announced a plan for opening missions in Kazakhstan, Los Angeles, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates and Venezuela. Construction of the new embassy in Washington and reconstruction of the existing buildings in Paris, Nairobi and Brussels is also planned. In late 2008, it was announced that due to the 2008 financial crisis expansion plans will be reviewed.[5][6] In April 2009, Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that consulate in Croatia will be moved from Rijeka to Knin in Croatia.[7] In May 2009 it was announced that the embassy in Peru will be temporarily closed and that the consulate-general in Lyon will be closed while the embassy in Kenya was to be reopened.[8]

Due to the legal succession of the Yugoslav properties abroad, Serbia was obliged to hand over chanceries in Vienna, The Hague, and Lisbon (to Croatia); Rome (to Slovenia); Canberra (to the then-Republic of Macedonia), Ankara, Madrid, Oslo and Ottawa (to Bosnia and Herzegovina); as well as consular chanceries in Klagenfurt, Milan (to Slovenia), Toronto (to Croatia), Zürich and Athens (Macedonia).[9][10] In 2010, the Government of Serbia made a decision to open embassies in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Qatar and reopen embassies in Congo-Kinshasa and Ghana in 2011 and announced a plan to open embassies in Oman, Chile, Venezuela and Pakistan in the future.[11] In 2011, Serbia opened its embassies in Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, and consulate-general in Herceg Novi.[12][13][14]

In 2006, the Government of Serbia adopted the Memorandum of Agreement between the Republic of Montenegro and the Republic of Serbia on Consular Protection and Services to the Citizens of Montenegro. By this agreement, Serbian diplomatic missions provide consular services to the Montenegrin citizens on the territory of states in which Montenegro has no missions of its own.[15] In 2012, Serbia signed a similar agreement with Bosnia and Herzegovina that also allowed Serbian citizens to use Bosnian diplomatic and consular offices, namely those in Jordan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.[16] However, in 2013 the Government of Serbia has adopted a decision to establish full diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.[17][18]
