Abstract

The consuls, official representatives of the government of one country acting on the territory of another country, generally are appointed due to several reasons: to aid and protect the citizens of the consul’s country; to encourage and facilitate the economic relations between both countries; to encourage and aid the growth of the culture between both countries, and more. According to this, the role of the consuls differs from the one of the ambassadors in today’s diplomatic relations. Additionally, the distinction of the consuls can be seen from a point that they have very limited privileges and immunity comparing to the ambassadors. Namely, the consular positions are limited comparing to the diplomatic representatives, not only in terms of their function (consular representation as a rule act on their duties only in their district), but in their nature as well (for instance, the consular representatives fundamentally do not have similar political positions which is the case with the diplomatic representatives.
The subject of this paper is analysis of the consular representatives’ role in today’s modern state of affairs. In terms of methods, the authors will apply the normative method, the comparative method, as well as the historical method. The main goal of this paper is to do academic research with regards to the evolution of the consuls’ role, as well as the future challenges and perspectives of this title.
