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]
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[a] independence from Serbia is still disputed.[5]
In 2010, the United Kingdom government strongly supported Serbia's progression to membership of the European Union,[6] because the government of Serbia has begun to improve relations with Kosovo.[7]
