The Czech Republic and Serbia maintain diplomatic relations established in 1918 between Czechoslovakia and the Kingdom of Serbia.[1] Czechoslovakia maintained relations with the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia until the dissolution of the latter in 1991. In 1993, newly-formed Czech Republic established relations with Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (later Serbia and Montenegro) of which Serbia is considered sole successor.[2]
Economic relations
Trade between two countries amounted to $2.2 billion in 2023; Serbia's merchandise export to the Czech Republic were about $1.1 billion; Czech exports were standing at over $1 billion.[3]
Czech companies present in Serbia include Škoda Transportation (tramway traction engines plant in Kragujevac) and Mattoni 1873 (owner of carbonated mineral water producer Knjaz Miloš, with plant in Aranđelovac).[4][5]
Czechs in Serbia
Czechs in Serbia are recognized as an ethnic minority group. There is a small number of them, 1,317, according to the 2022 Census, mainly living in Vojvodina, particularly in the rural areas of Bela Crkva and Kovin municipalities, in the South Banat District.[6] Češko Selo, a tiny village in the Bela Crkva municipality, is the only settlement with Czech majority in Serbia and the southernmost Czech-majority settlement in Europe.
