Serbia recognises great importance of consular service

Belgrade, 30 January 2024

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic today highlighted, at the annual meeting with consular representatives accredited to the Republic of Serbia, the importance of the consular service, stating that Serbia continues to modernise the work of this service, both in the country and abroad.

Bearing in mind the very complex and challenging international circumstances, Dacic said that today the nature of consular activities is far more complex and is gaining more and more scope and importance over time.

The confirmation of this is precisely the numerous engagements of consular services of all countries in providing assistance to citizens in various crisis situations, including those caused by current war conflicts around the world, Dacic emphasised.

He added that Serbia recognises the great importance of the consular service, as evidenced by our extensive consular network, which consists of 22 general consulates, 1 consulate, 2 consular offices, 72 consular departments at embassies and as many as 100 consulates headed by honorary consuls abroad.

According to him, last year we developed an important platform that will unify all the services that the state authorities of Serbia provide to foreigners, and whose commissioning is expected soon.

He also mentioned a novelty in the field of visa policy related to the introduction of a visa in an electronic format, which we expect during this year.
