The museum is located at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Belgrade and was officially opened on Wednesday. The ceremony was also attended by government ministers, members of the diplomatic corps, representatives of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Crown Prince Aleksandar Karadjordjevic and directors of the Serbian and Yugoslav archives, the National Library and other institutions which actively participated in preparing the exhibit. In his address, Jeremic said Serbia still had four foreign policy priorities: "EU integration, resolving the Kosovo issue, regional cooperation and economic diplomacy". Summarizing the achievements and activities of Serbian diplomacy throughout history, Jeremic said Serbia was once again visible and active in the international arena and acted as host to major international events, such as the Non-Aligned Movement Summit last year or the OSCE Summit in 2015. He expressed belief Serbia would be successful on its European path and noted that for the first time in history, an issue such as Kosovo was only being solved through peaceful means. Tadic said Serbia's "geo-strategic position was unlikely to change in the next five years", but that Serbia's capacity to defend its interests "would improve" once it entered the EU. He said only a synergy of diplomatic efforts, government and non-government institutions could results in security for the country and its people in the coming period. In times of a major economic crisis and challenges, the importance of economic diplomacy is particularly highlighted and could be of crucial importance for the country's development, said Tadic.
