Serbian-Argentine relations are foreign relations between Serbia and Argentina.
History
Diplomatic relations between Serbia and Argentina existed before the Second World War and were restored in 1946. Serbia has an embassy in Buenos Aires and Argentina has an embassy in Belgrade. The Ambassador (Charge d'Affaires a.i.) of Serbia to Argentina is Martin Simovic. The Ambassador of Argentina to Serbia is Mario Eduardo Bossi de Ezcurra.
Argentinian position on Kosovo
In 2008 after the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija unilaterally declared independence as a Republic of Kosovo, Argentine Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana said "if we were to recognise Kosovo, which has declared its independence unilaterally, without an agreement with Serbia, we would set a dangerous precedent that would seriously threaten our chances of a political settlement in the case of the Falkland Islands". Argentina will not recognize also because it "supports the principle of territorial integrity". Additionally, he stressed that the 1999 UN Resolution 1244 called for the mutual agreement of all parties to solve the dispute. He said that President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner would not give any official statement on the issue, reiterating that there would be no recognition of Kosovo.
Visits
On April 14, 2008 Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Vuk Jeremic visited Argentina, and agreed with Argentine Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana, on a series of joint steps within international multilateral institutions related to Serbia's diplomatic approach to Kosovo. Argentina will support the initiative of Serbia within the UN General Assembly to ask the opinion of the International Court of Justice on the legality of recognising Kosovos unilateral independence and will actively advocate that this initiative is supported by Latin America countries and within the Non-Aligned Movement and Mercosur. During the visit it was agreed that Taiana will visit Belgrade in June and President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in 2009.
