Argentina–Serbia relations

Argentina |
Serbia

Argentina and Serbia maintain diplomatic relations established between Argentina and Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1938.[1] From 1938 to 2006, Argentina maintained relations with the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY), and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) (later Serbia and Montenegro), of which Serbia is considered shared (SFRY) or sole (FRY) legal successor.[2]

## History

[edit]

In 1870, the first registered Serbian migrants arrived and settled in Argentina. In 1914, it was estimated that over 38,000 Serbians had immigrated to Argentina since the arrival of the first migrants.[3]

## Argentina's stance on Kosovo

[edit]

In 2008, after Kosovo declared independence, Argentine Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana said "if we were to recognise Kosovo, which has declared its independence unilaterally, without an agreement with Serbia, we would set a dangerous precedent that would seriously threaten our chances of a political settlement in the case of the Falkland Islands. Argentina will not recognize also because it supports the principle of territorial integrity." Additionally, he stressed that the 1999 UN Resolution 1244 called for the mutual agreement of all parties to solve the dispute. He said that President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner would not give any official statement on the issue, reiterating that there would be no recognition of Kosovo.[4][5] Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Vuk Jeremić visited Argentina in 2008, and agreed with Argentine Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana, on a series of joint steps within international multilateral institutions related to Serbia's diplomatic approach to Kosovo. Argentina supported the initiative of Serbia within the UN General Assembly to ask the opinion of the International Court of Justice on the legality of recognising Kosovo's unilateral independence and actively advocated that this initiative is supported by Latin America countries and within the Non-Aligned Movement and Mercosur.[6]
