Summary/Abstract: Diplomacy as the most common and widely accepted form of international relations is not immune to global changes that are taking place in all areas of social life. The development of communication technology, in many ways, has significantly contributed to more intensive and effective diplomatic action, as has the division of the world into Eastern and Western Bloc at the end of the era. Small countries with poor international influence mostly have diplomatic network, which is based on the principles thirty years old or more, unable to respond to the demands of the modern era. It is for this reason that it is necessary that small countries change their approach to diplomatic action, seize to be based only on political diplomacy, and in particular to reorganize and modernize the network of diplomatic and consular missions. The activities of the ministries in the government are also very important, and not just specifically the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also other ministries within their jurisdiction. It is believed that only through international relations, small countries can achieve a better position and prosperity of not only the state but also its people.
