Political relations between the Republic of Serbia and the Republic of Kazakhstan are traditionally good and friendly, with no open questions. In the last few years, the political dialogue between the two countries has significantly intensified. There is a mutually expressed interest in its promotion at the highest level, as well as in the development of bilateral cooperation, with an emphasis on trade and economic relations.
Kazakhstan is the last Soviet republic that declared independence on December 16, 1991, leading a moderate foreign policy and developing the economy, especially the chemical industry.
The ethnonym Kazakh is derived from a Turkish word meaning independence and freedom of spirit. It has its roots in the Kazakh culture, in which horses play a big role, so it is connected with the term Cossack. The Old Persian word -stan means land or place, so Kazakhstan translates as “the land of the Kazakhs”.
It is located on two continents – Europe and Asia, the capital is Nur-Sultan, which until 2019 was called Astana.
This Central Asian country is rich in numerous sights, both natural and man-made.
From 1998 until today, billions of dollars have been invested to make Nur-Sultan as architecturally impressive as possible. Baiterek Tower – a futuristic building almost 100 meters high that is often compared to a giant lollipop, as well as the Duman entertainment complex – stand out.

On the other side, the Hazrat Sultan Mosque and the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation are the two most religiously significant buildings in this city. The Hazrat Sultan Mosque is one of the largest mosques in Central Asia with the largest dome in all of Kazakhstan, while the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation hosts a meeting of the supreme leaders of all world religions every two to three years.

With an area of 2.7 million km², Kazakhstan is one of the largest countries in the world. Historians say that its original inhabitants were the first to tame and ride horses and that the territory of today’s Kazakhstan is the home of the apple tree and the snow leopard, as well as an unusual language that was created by mixing Arabic, Russian, Mongolian, Turkish and Persian languages.

Kazakhstan is ethnically and culturally very diverse, it is inhabited by over 120 people who mostly live in traditional houses – yurts. Kazakh is the state language, but along with it, Russian is also used as an official language in state institutions.
Considering its size, Kazakhstan has very different types of terrain, from vast lowlands, through plateaus, steppes, taigas, rocky canyons, hills, deltas to deserts and high mountains whose peaks are constantly covered with snow.

When it comes to gastronomy, Kazakhstan is a paradise for meat lovers. Horse meat sausages, “Qazi”, are a special specialty, but mutton is also used in the diet, as well as various types of cooked meat.
