Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen is reported to be facing possible legal action over his spoof Kazakhstan TV host character Borat Sagdiyev.
In his act, the British star best known for his Ali G character, has portrayed the central Asian country as a nation of drunks who are cruel to animals.
The Kazakh Foreign Ministry said it may move to prevent Cohen presenting the country in a "derogatory way".
The comments come after Cohen hosted the MTV Europe Music Awards in Lisbon.
He adopted the Borat role for the appearance - a performance that included an arrival in an 'Air Kazakh' propeller plane flown by a pilot holding a vodka bottle.
