Launched in December 2015 by the Belgrade Initiative for Digital and Public Diplomacy ( BIDD), the Diplomatic Portal is a gateway to easily accessible information and certain online facilities at the service of diplomatic missions, consular posts and international organizations in Serbia. It aims to be an important information channel from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Diplomatic Missions providing, thus, an increased interaction among the members of the Diplomatic Corps, and serving as a platform for connecting diplomats accredited to Belgrade. . In this newly updated version of the Diplomatic Portal 2015, you will also find information about the latest news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, diplomatic news from the embassies and international organizations, relating to a vast array of diverse events such as seminars, workshops, film festivals, sport tournaments or concerts that are of relevance to the Diplomatic Corps in Belgrade as well as the information on National Days celebrated by the foreign embassies in Belgrade and the presentation of credentials.
