Relations between Serbia and Kazakhstan without open issues

On the margins of the OSCE Ministerial Council in Stockholm, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia Nikola Selakovic met with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan Mukhtar Tileuberdi.

Minister Selakovic was pleased to state that the relations between our two countries were traditionally good, friendly and without open issues.

Selakovic emphasized that Serbia was grateful to Kazakhstan for its clear and principled position on non-recognition of self-proclaimed Kosovo, adding that we expected such support to continue, both bilaterally and in international organizations.

The Head of Serbian diplomacy emphasized that our country was committed to strengthening and promoting overall cooperation with Kazakhstan, pointing out that visits at the high and top levels would greatly contribute to this end. He invited his Kazakh counterpart to visit Serbia, but also expressed readiness to pay a visit Kazakhstan in the period ahead.

Selakovic thanked for the opening of the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Belgrade and the appointment of their Ambassador to our country. Furthermore, he suggested holding political consultations between the two countries in order to enhance overall relations.

According to the ministers, the economic cooperation between the two countries is below the realistic possibilities and it is, therefore, necessary to use all the advantages and potentials available. They agreed that it was desirable to organize a business forum of entrepreneurs from both countries.
