Peru and Serbia maintain diplomatic relations established between Peru and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia before World War II, which were broken off in 1947 and renewed in 1967.[1]

Peru is home to a small community of Serbs, although Croats make up a much larger group.[2]

History

[edit]
Main article: Peru–Yugoslavia relations

Peru had relations with the Kingdom of Yugoslavia since the 1920s.[3] During the World War II in Yugoslavia, Peru established economic and consular relations with the Yugoslav government-in-exile in 1942,[4] and the consulate and embassy accredited to Peru were then located in Santiago de Chile.[5] Relations continued after the war,[6] with Josip Broz Tito visiting Peru in 1963,[7] and were elevated to embassy level in 1967.[8][9] A Yugoslav consulate opened in Lima,[4] and a Peruvian embassy was opened in Belgrade.[8][9]

After the breakup of Yugoslavia, Peru continued relations with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro)[10] and its other successor states, such as Croatia in 1993.[11] 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.[12] 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.[13] In 2019, the Serbian government opened a honorary consulate in Lima.[14]

Peru recognised Kosovo in 2008 after the latter declared its independence from Serbia.[15][16] 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.[16] Nevertheless, the announcement led to controversy with the Serbian authorities, who recalled their ambassador for a couple of months.[3] This event was the main reason for the closure of the Serbian embassy in Lima.[17]

Como secretario del Consulado estuvo Andrés Puljižević (natural de Dubrovnik), quien durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial dirigió la revista Mundo Slavo que se editaba en Lima. El Consulado en Perú era un cargo honorario, mientras que el Consulado oficial y la Embajada de Yugoslavia estaban en Santiago de Chile.
