The Diplomatic Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Serbia (Serbian: Дипломатски архив Министарства спољних послова Републике Србије, romanized: Diplomatski arhiv Ministarstva spoljnih poslova Republike Srbije) commonly known as the Diplomatic Archives, is the central archival institution of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Serbia in charge of archiving Serbia's diplomatic documents. Headquartered in Belgrade, records at the Diplomatic Archive are nominally available to the public 30 years after their creation.[2] The large majority of documents in the Diplomatic Archive are primarily in Serbo-Croatian, necessitating certain proficiency in the language for effective research.[3] The archival material kept at the institution are particularly relevant for understanding of the Cold War era history due to Yugoslavia's prominent role in Non-Aligned Movement.[3]
