History
Peru had relations with the Kingdom of Yugoslavia since the 1920s. [4] During the World War II in Yugoslavia, Peru established economic and consular relations with the Yugoslav government-in-exile in 1942, [5] and the consulate and embassy accredited to Peru were then located in Santiago de Chile. [6] Relations continued after the war, [7] with Josip Broz Tito visiting Peru in 1963, [8] and were elevated to embassy level in 1967. [9] [10] A Yugoslav consulate opened in Lima, [5] and a Peruvian embassy was opened in Belgrade. [9] [10]
After the breakup of Yugoslavia, Peru continued relations with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) [11] and its other successor states, such as Croatia in 1993. [12] The Peruvian embassy in Belgrade closed in 2006, a couple of months after the independence of Montenegro, and the Peruvian Ambassador to Romania became accredited to Serbia until 2018, when the Peruvian Ambassador to Hungary became accredited instead after a series of reforms. [13] On the other hand, the Serbian embassy's closure was announced and finalized in 2009, with the Serbian mission in Buenos Aires becoming accredited to Peru instead. [14] In 2019, the Serbian government opened a honorary consulate in Lima. [15]
Peru recognised Kosovo in 2008 after the latter declared its independence from Serbia. [16] [17] In relation to the announcement, Peru stressed that it wished to maintain its warm relations with Serbia, highlighting the work of Serbian company Energoprojekt in Peru. [17] Nevertheless, the announcement led to controversy with the Serbian authorities, who recalled their ambassador for a couple of months. [4] This event was the main reason for the closure of the Serbian embassy in Lima.
