In 1910, Spain sent an envoy to Belgrade. With the rank of resident minister, Manuel Multedo y Cortina represented Spanish interest in Sofia, Bucharest and Belgrade. Once the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was established, Spain recognized it and established permanent relations.

That same year, Spain established an embassy-rank diplomatic mission based in Belgrade.
