According to the Diplomatic List of the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (29 September 2026), the post is held by Zoran Tadić (honorary consul; the list gives the date 25 February 2021).

Its consular district covers the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, according to the ministry’s list.
Novi Sad, in the South Bačka District (Vojvodina), lies about 68 km in a straight line from the centre of Belgrade and about 61 km from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport.
Citizens of Austria with ordinary passports do not need a visa for visits to Serbia of up to 90 days within a six-month period, according to the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ visa regime page; a national identity card can also be used to enter. Serbia is not part of the Schengen area and applies its own visa rules.

What can an honorary consul do?
An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by Austria and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Austrian citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
