      Most of the text and some of the photos that I plan to use in this topic are from the following link
      which Piramida was kind enough to share with us (Photos are from the book "Official Dress in Serbia").
      "The first preserved regulations related to the obligation of wearing official suits in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and of wearing uniforms in the diplomatic-consular missions abroad originate from 1931.
      ...
      The Rules Relating to the Making and Wearing of Diplomatic-Consular Uniforms abroad provided for four types of uniform according to the category of diplomatic agents.
      I category - Ministers (Legates) Extraordinary and Ministers Plenipotentiary,
      II category - Counselors and Consul Generals,
      III category - First Secretaries and Consuls
      IV category - Secretaries, Vice-Consuls and Clerks."

      FR Yugoslavia - Medal for Virtues

      in Southern European & Balkan States

      Posted · Edited by paja

      ...in the Fields of Defense and Security (Медаља за врлине у областима одбране и безбедности) is one of the single class decorations introduced in 1998. As it's name says it was awarded for virtues shown in those two fields.

      Color pattern of the ribbon is the same as the one used for the Medal for Military Virtues of the previous Yugoslavia.
