History
Formal diplomatic relations between Austria-Hungary and Principality of Serbia were established in 1874.[3]
After the end of World War II in Yugoslavia rapprochement between SFR Yugoslavia and Allied-occupied Austria was marked by the visit of Austrian Foreign Minister Karl Gruber to Yugoslavia in 1952.[4] This was the first time a Western foreign minister had visited the country.[4] The following year, Yugoslav Foreign Minister Koča Popović visited Austria, and during his visit, the diplomatic missions of Austria in Belgrade and Yugoslavia in Vienna were elevated to the status of embassies.[4]
In 2021 exhibition was organised at the Belgrade Fortress commemorating 185 years since the establishment of bilateral relations between Austria and Serbia and 20 years of work of the Austrian Cultural Forum in Serbia.[5]
