An article published in Semarak.News underlined that the diplomatic relations between Indonesia and Serbia had been fostered for more than six decades, and that the two countries had special cooperation in the areas of education and culture. Student exchange projects involving students coming from the two countries and artists giving guest performances in both Serbia and Indonesia were cited as good examples.
