Kazakhstan did not participate in the 5th edition of IMF. This was because the 5th edition was a Eurovision special and due to the fact that Kazakhstan has yet to participate in Eurovision Song Contest, they were unable to participate. Instead, the head of the Kazakhstan delegation decided to represent Belgium for that edition.
