British – Serbian relations are foreign relations between the United Kingdom and Serbia. Both countries established diplomatic relations in 1837.[1] The UK has an embassy and consulate in Belgrade[2] and Serbia has an embassy in London.[3] The Serbian ambassador to the United Kingdom is Dr Dejan Popovic[4] and the British ambassador to Serbia is Denis Keefe.[2]
The UK and Serbia have good bilateral military co-operation, the UK has provided training and assistance to assist defence reform for Serbia.[5]
Trade between the two countries in 2004 amounted to US$245.8 million. In the first ten months of 2005 exports of Serbia and Montenegro to Great Britain accounted for US$68.2 million (110.6 per cent increase compared to the same period in 2004) and the imports from the UK were US$104.2 million (85 per cent increase compared to the same period in 2004).[1]
The 2001 UK Census recorded 31,244 people born in the former state of Serbia and Montenegro, which are now the independent states of Serbia and Montenegro, while Kosovo's[lower-alpha 1] independence from Serbia is still disputed.[6]
The United Kingdom strongly supports Serbian membership into the European Union,[7] because the government of Serbia has begun to improve relations with Kosovo.[8]
