Kazakhstan and Slovenia share a common historical memory of the struggle against fascism during World War II. In particular, a Memorial to Soviet soldiers has been erected in the city of Trnovo, where the names of the fallen Kazakh soldiers are immortalized on commemorative plaques.
On October 20, 2018, a solemn event was held in the village of Povir dedicated to the memory of the Kazakh hero "Kasse Sebero", who fought with the partisans of Yugoslavia and died in the fight against fascism in 1943.
During the event, a ceremony was held to install a memorial plate with the words "Zhyrakta zhatsan da, oshpes yerligin elinnin zhadynda!" ("Despite the distances, your immortal feat will remain in the memory of your people!"), a capsule with earth from the National Pantheon of Kazakhstan was laid. Slovenian public was presented with a photo exhibition dedicated to the 20th anniversary of Astana, a feature film "Zhau Zhurek myn Bala".
