## History

[edit]

Serbian-Slovak relations i.e. cooperation were notably strong during the 18th and the 19th century, in the fields of culture, art, commerce, education, science, politics and military.[1]

During the course of two centuries, more than 2500 Serbs were educated in various universities and higher institutions of learning in Slovakia, mostly in Bratislava, Košice and Kežmarok.[1]

Noted Slovaks were active in the cultural and political life of Serbia, such as Pavel Jozef Šafárik, Ján Kollár and Ľudovít Štúr. Under the influence and drawing on the works of Serbian linguist Vuk Stefanović Karadžić, Pavel Jozef Šafárik and Jan Kollár decided to start collecting Slovak folk poems. During the 19th century, Serbian nationalists and Slovak nationalists supported each other and were active in spreading the ideas based on Slavophilia.[1]

Historian and an expert on Serb-Slovak relations Nebojša Kuzmanović concludes that Serbs had the best relations with Slovaks out of any ethnic group the Serbs encountered with throughout their history.

Serbian author and historian Risto Kovijanić researched Serbian-Slovak relations for over 50 years and published a number of works on the topic.[1]

In February 2021 President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić and Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikola Selaković held a meeting with Slovak Minister of Foreign and European Affairs Ivan Korčok.[2] Minister Juraj Blanár visited Belgrade in October 2024.[3]
