Political relations
Political relations are traditionally close and friendly. The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) supported Zambia’s independence since the beginning of the nation’s struggle for liberation. The first Zambian jet pilots were trained in SFRY.
Economic relations
In 2020, the export of the Republic of Serbia to the Republic of Zambia amounted to 33,000 euros, while the import amounted to 68,000 euros.
In 2019, the value of export from the Republic of Serbia to Zambia amounted to 23,000 euros, and import from Zambia to 531,000 euros. The “Kafue Gorge” Hydroelectric Power Plant, constructed by the Energoprojekt company from late 1960s to 1977, is one of the most impressive infrastructure facilities in Zambia.
