Kazakhstan&ndash;Kosovo relations

Kazakhstan–Kosovo relations

Kazakh-Kosovar relations are foreign relations between Kazakhstan and Kosovo. Formal diplomatic relations between two states are non-existent as Kazakhstan does not recognize Kosovo as a sovereign state.
History
As of 2021, Kazakhstan has opposed the independence of Kosovo and has taken Serbia's position on the issue.
In February 2008, a Kazakh foreign ministry spokesperson said that Kazakhstan opposed Kosovo's proclamation of independence, and said that the issue should be solved "peacefully in accordance with United Nations principles on national sovereignty and territorial integrity".
In December 2008, Kazakh prime minister Karim Masimov stated that "We have an official position. Kazakhstan did not recognise Kosovo and does not recognise Abkhazia and South Ossetia. We consider that borders are defined and Kazakhstan will not recognise any new states".
