In Belgrade, a meeting between the Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Serbia, Madi Atamkulov, and Serbia’s Minister of Justice, Nenad Vujić, highlighted a growing focus on legal dialogue as a foundation for deeper bilateral cooperation. While the talks were held behind closed doors, their substance reflects a broader trend: both countries are actively rethinking how law, reform, and international cooperation shape long-term stability, DKNews.kz reports.
At the center of the discussion were key issues of bilateral cooperation and current priorities in the development of legal systems. Rather than limiting the conversation to formalities, the sides opted for an open exchange on how legal reforms are unfolding in practice.
A Broad Agenda, One Core Theme
During the meeting, the parties exchanged views on a wide range of issues of mutual interest, including international legal cooperation. This area is increasingly important in a world where cross-border interaction - from business to justice - depends on compatible legal frameworks and trust between institutions.
Such dialogue allows both sides to better understand not only each other’s legislation, but also the logic behind ongoing reforms.
Kazakhstan’s Reform Path Explained
Madi Atamkulov provided a detailed overview of the constitutional reforms currently being implemented in Kazakhstan. These changes are aimed at modernizing the state system, strengthening the rule of law, and enhancing the effectiveness of public institutions.
For international partners, this kind of transparency matters. Legal reforms are not just domestic processes - they shape how a country is perceived as a reliable partner in political, economic, and legal cooperation.
Serbia’s Experience and Willingness to Engage
In response, Nenad Vujić spoke about ongoing and planned reforms in Serbia. He emphasized the readiness of the Ministry of Justice of Serbia to contribute to the further development of relations with Kazakhstan, signaling openness to practical cooperation rather than symbolic gestures.
This exchange of reform experiences is particularly valuable in the justice sector, where lessons learned in one system can often be adapted to another.
Dialogue with a Future Focus
At the conclusion of the meeting, both sides confirmed their mutual interest in continuing a constructive dialogue and expressed readiness to further develop practical cooperation. This suggests that the talks were not an endpoint, but part of a longer process of building institutional connections.
In today’s international environment, cooperation in the legal sphere is increasingly seen as a measure of trust. The Belgrade meeting showed that Kazakhstan and Serbia are not only comparing reform agendas, but also laying the groundwork for sustained, results-oriented partnership based on law, dialogue, and shared responsibility.
