Building

The building in which the embassy is located is rented from the Serbian orthodox Metropolitanate of Zagreb and Ljubljana.[3] The building was built between 1886 and 1887, and it was architecturally designed by Kuno Waidmann.[3]

By the beginning of the War in Croatia, the building was the seat of the metropolitanate and its museum, archive and library.[3] On April 11, 1992, the building was dynamited, after which the seat of the metropolitanate was moved to another building.[3] After the metropolitanate restored the building, they rented it to the embassy.[3]
