Since the opening of the Consulate General of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Podgorica, a number of cultural and humanitarian events have been held to strengthen ties between Kazakhstan and Montenegro. One of the most notable was the inauguration of the Abai Center at the National Library of Montenegro on July 24, 2025, marking the 180th anniversary of the great Kazakh poet, philosopher, and educator Abai Kunanbayev. The Center has become a symbol of cultural exchange and a venue for educational and creative initiatives.
Visitors to the Center can explore a special collection brought from Kazakhstan, including publications of Abai’s works in different languages, audio and video materials about his life and legacy, elements of Kazakh culture and art, as well as photographs of the country’s historic monuments and natural landmarks.
