The project was ordered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Czechoslovakia Republic one year earlier for the construction of the embassy in the capital of the Kingdom of SHS. The land at the address Bulevar kralja Aleksandra 20, where the building was constructed, was purchased by the Republic of Czechoslovakia in 1923. The land area of the diplomatic representation was expanded in 1931 by purchasing new land, offered to Czechoslovakia by King Alexander I Kara\u0111or\u0111evi\u0107.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17850\" style=\"width: 1159px\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bez-naslova.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17850 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bez-naslova.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1149\" height=\"798\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The former design of the embassy's dining room.

However, on April 17, 1941, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia signed the capitulation in the dining room of this building, which was occupied by Nazi forces. During World War II, the building served as the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-14960-1-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-14960-1-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<div id=\"attachment_17846\" style=\"width: 1773px\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/25.ZU-ul-krale-Alexandra.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17846\" src=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/25.ZU-ul-krale-Alexandra.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1763\" height=\"1232\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The embassy on King Alexander Street.

The building has an underground space, a high ground floor, and two floors, with the third floor only visible from the inner courtyard. The main facade has a horizontal division with three entrances on the ground floor.<\/p>\n<p>A part of the building in the inner courtyard was completed in the 1930s, and after World War II, the large bronze coat of arms of Czechoslovakia was removed from the main facade. During 2015, it was returned to its original place. The building has not been demolished or undergone radical damage or extensive reconstruction to date, except for the addition of two side wings and the third floor in the inner courtyard. The main rooms of the representative part of the interior (the ceremonial hall on the first floor, the central staircase, and others) have been completely preserved. The architecture of the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Belgrade was designed in the style of the then-current Rondocubism widely accepted in the capital of Czechoslovakia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_17786\" style=\"width: 1783px\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_6534.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17786 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_6534.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1773\" height=\"1182\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Entrance to the Embassy of the Czech Republic<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-14960-2-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-14960-2-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image-grid panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"6\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image-grid so-widget-sow-image-grid-default-8bf08a9600e8-14960\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\t<div\n\t\tclass=\"sow-image-grid-wrapper\"\n\t\tdata-max-width=\"800\"\t\tdata-max-height=\"1200\"\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-image-grid-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1725\" height=\"1215\" src=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_6546-2.jpg\" class=\"sow-image-grid-image_html\" alt=\"\" title=\"IMG_6546 (2)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_6546-2.jpg 1725w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_6546-2-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_6546-2-1024x721.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_6546-2-768x541.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_6546-2-1536x1082.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_6546-2-50x35.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1725px) 100vw, 1725px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-image-grid-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1182\" height=\"1773\" src=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_6517-3.jpg\" class=\"sow-image-grid-image_html\" alt=\"\" title=\"IMG_6517 (3)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_6517-3.jpg 1182w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_6517-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_6517-3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_6517-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_6517-3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_6517-3-33x50.jpg 33w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1182px) 100vw, 1182px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-14960-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-14960-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-14960-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"7\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h3 class=\"widget-title\">INTERIOR<\/h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>The interior of the embassy\u00a0 is as monumental as it's exterior design.

Notably, historian Konstantin Jire\u010dek, renowned for his work \"History of the Serbs,\" played a foundational role in critical historiography in Serbia.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17895\" style=\"width: 423px\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221204_101744.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17895 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221204_101744.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"413\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221204_101744.jpg 413w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221204_101744-195x300.jpg 195w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20221204_101744-33x50.jpg 33w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 413px) 100vw, 413px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Historian Konstantin Jire\u010dek<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Prominent Czech Art Nouveau painter Alfons Mucha expressed his affinity for pan-Slavic ideals through the creation of the \"Slav Epic,\" a cycle of 20 large paintings between 1910 and 1928. Noteworthy is the painting \"Coronation of Serbian Emperor Du\u0161an,\" symbolizing the historical and mythological aspects of Czech and other Slavic nations.<\/p>\n<p>The influx of Czech creators into Serbia began in the latter half of the 19th century, primarily settling around Cvetkova Pijaca. The Czech Association, founded in 1869 and active throughout history, played a crucial role in fostering Czech identity.<\/p>\n<p>During World War I, Czech soldiers, initially conscripted into the Austro-Hungarian army, often defected to the Allies, especially after the formation of the Czechoslovak Legion led by Tom\u00e1\u0161 Masaryk. The largest camp within the Austro-Hungarian Empire during 1915-1918 was Jind\u0159ichovice, where around 40,000 prisoners, including Serbs, were held.<\/p>\n<p>In post-World War I Czechoslovakia, strong diplomatic ties with Serbia intensified. The relationship was not only political and economic but also found expression in cultural exchanges facilitated by the Czechoslovak-Yugoslav League, established in 1920. This league advocated for Yugoslav students to study at Czechoslovak universities.<\/p>\n<p>Architectural collaboration flourished, with Serbian students studying in Prague and Czech architects contributing to Serbia's architectural landscape. Notable names include Momir Korunovi\u0107, Aleksandar Deroko, Nikola Dobrovi\u0107, and Czech architect Matija Bleh.<\/p>\n<p>The Czechoslovak House, opened in 1928 at Svetozara Markovi\u0107a Street 39, served as a cultural hub, hosting a Czech elementary school, theaters, a restaurant, and a library. After World War II, in 1946, the Yugoslav government agreed with Czech Republic's proposal to elevate their diplomatic missions to embassy status.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout history, notable Czech individuals have left a lasting impact on Belgrade, spanning various fields such as architecture, industry, medicine, and the arts. Jan Nevole, Franti\u0161ek Nekvasil, Jan Dubovi, Ignjat and Jakov Bajloni, Zdenka Zikova, and Ludmila Frajt are among those who have significantly contributed to the city's cultural fabric.<\/p>\n<p>The friendship and collaboration between Serbia and Czech Republic have endured the test of time, evolving into a rich tapestry of shared history, mutual respect, and cultural exchanges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-14960-4-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-14960-4-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image-grid panel-first-child
