Our ambassadors in Croatia, North Macedonia, China, Albania and Australia receive between RSD 115,000 and 132,000 per month.
Then salaries go up three or more times, so the salaries between EUR 3,500 and 4,000 are earned by the ambassadors to BiH (3,700), Greece (3,705), and Saudi Arabia (3,484). The representatives of Serbia to Norway, Morocco, Slovenia, Montenegro, Azerbaijan earn salaries in the range of 4,000 to 4,500 euros.
