Last night, the Association of Jewish Municipalities of Serbia organized a reception for the new ambassador of Israel to Serbia, H. E. Yahel Vilan.
H.E. Yahel Vilan addressed and greeted the present guests, among whom were numerous representatives of the diplomatic corps and the public scene of Serbia, and who in return wished him a successful mandate. The mandate of the new ambassador comes at a very challenging moment for the relations between Serbia and Israel, when the Israeli recognition of Kosovo and the promise of Serbia to move the embassy to Jerusalem came simultaneously.
