Interwar period In 1921, together with the
Kingdom of Romania, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia established the
Little Entente with the purpose of common defence against Hungarian revanchism and the prospect of a Habsburg restoration. Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia signed their agreement on 4 June 1920. Serbian writer, poet, translator
Stanislav Vinaver was appointed
press attaché at the embassy.
Cold War The President of Yugoslavia enjoyed widespread popularity in Czechoslovakia due to his leadership of the Yugoslav Partisans during the Second World War. During his visit to Prague and Bratislava in February 1948, local authorities publicly expressed admiration for his “historic efforts to realize fraternal cooperation among all Slavic peoples.” Czechoslovak authorities systematically intimidated Yugoslav diplomats and citizens visiting Yugoslav missions by conducting identity checks, interrogations, and surveillance outside the Embassy in Prague and the Consulate in Bratislava. These actions, officially justified as reciprocal responses to Yugoslav treatment of Czechoslovak diplomats in Belgrade. The most drastic form of hostility was the arrest and show trial of Yugoslav vice-consul Šefik Kević, detained in March 1950 while carrying diplomatic mail and later sentenced to life imprisonment in a secret political trial on charges of espionage and smuggling.
Contemporary period In 2024, together with the Serbian association
Luka Prag, embassy organized the
Month of Serbian Culture in Prague, which featured concerts, art exhibitions, culinary presentations and panel discussions highlighting Serbian cultural heritage and Serbian-Czech cultural ties. In 2026 Embassy hosted a
Statehood Day reception attended by over 350 guests, including more than 60 ambassadors, senior Serbian and Czech officials, and representatives of political, economic, and cultural life.
