The Czech Republic and Serbia maintain diplomatic relations established in 1918 between Czechoslovakia and the Kingdom of Serbia.

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]
