Abstract: The importance of digital communication to contemporary society is strikingly evident in terms of its scale and visibility. This is especially true in the field of diplomacy, where unforeseen situations nowadays are characterized by frustrations, limitations and altered adaptive abilities, which can also be observed in the communication of diplomats. With the students pursuing international studies, we sought answers to the question that apart from basic diplomatic skills, such as intelligence, tact, discretion, circumspection, patience, self-control, adaptability, creative imagination, the ability to signal and communicate messages precisely to the target audience and linguistic agility to present necessary compromises - how the increased number of actors involved in diplomacy interact and get things done. For the present study online pages and videos have been used, the results of which are presented here.
