French-Serbian relations date back to the Middle Ages, to the time when Helen of Anjou married
Stefan Uroš I and become the Serbian queen. Although her connection to the House of Anjou is disputed in modern historiography, in case this claim proves to be true, French-Serbian friendship and state relations have lasted for more than seven centuries.
Formally speaking, this year marks the 186th anniversary of the official diplomatic relations established between Serbia and France – in 1839, during Miloš Obrenović’s reign, while Serbia was still a vassal principality.
