Summary/Abstract: The subject of the paper is the presentation and analysis of Federal Republic of Germany’s (FRG) foreign cultural policy as well as its cultural organisations that carry out that policy towards Serbia. The author does it by analysing the characteristics of its cultural policy towards various states and especially the places, roles and significance that some institutions as the main agents of the German culture play in achieving the goals of this policy in building, promotion and improvement of mutual cultural relations and cooperation between Serbia and Germany. The paper will also discuss the notion of foreign cultural policy and its general characteristics, FR Germany’s foreign cultural policy, history, and the main features and objectives of that policy towards Serbia. The author has also analysed the role of some agents of the German culture in their field of acting abroad as intermediary institutions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of FR Germany that is in charge of creating and pursuing the foreign policy. By describing and analysing the activities of these organisations one gets a clearer picture of the official foreign cultural policy Germany pursues towards Serbia and its characteristics. The analysis of the German foreign cultural policy and activities of some institutions as its intermediary shows the characteristics of the German cultural policy in general as well as the directives that these cultural policy leads towards our country.
