The Diplomat - E-book - ePub

The obscure object of desire has a blue cover. In the center, gravely, the federal eagle. Above it, in gold capital letters, the two words that make the difference. They separate the state elite from the electorate, the privileged from the ordinary. They sound like exclusive travel and fireside chats: DIPLOMATIC PASSPORT. In this work you will learn the truth about the diplomatic passport and diplomatic positions.
Furthermore, you will be introduced to the duties of a consul or honorary consul. The information has been gathered in a practical way from holders of a diplomatic passport and from interviews with foreign ministries, ministers, ambassadors and various consulates. It will be explained to you how you too can come into possession of such a passport, what requirements you have to fulfill for this and how you can use the diplomatic passport for yourself in practice in accordance with the Vienna Convention.
