Indonesian–Serbian relations

Indonesia	Serbia

Indonesia and Serbia maintain diplomatic relations established between Indonesia and SFR Yugoslavia in 1954.

History

The bilateral relations was officially established in 1954. The historic political links between Indonesia and Serbia was Non Aligned Movement. Indonesian first President Sukarno and Yugoslavian President Josip Broz Tito was the founding fathers of the Non Aligned Movement back in 1961.

After the dissolution of Yugoslavia, followed by the Bosnian War in 1992–1995, the bilateral relations hit the lowest level, since Indonesia as the world largest Muslim-populated country, condemned the crime of ethnic-cleansing based upon race and religion, against Muslim Bosniaks committed by the Serbs. Naturally, some of Indonesian Muslims shared and demonstrated the solidarity with Muslim Bosniaks.

The bilateral relations returned to normality in 2000s. In 2008, Indonesia supports the territorial integrity of Serbia by not recognizing the independence of Kosovo. Nevertheless, Indonesia has urged Serbia to always follow the peaceful way through dialog to resolving the conflicts and addressing the separatist problems in Kosovo.
