Answer 1

Use a Javascript function to validate:

function IsValidDate(inputDate) {
    if (kendo.parseDate(inputDate) == null) {
        return false;
    }
    else {
        return true;
    }
}

In View use this

@( Html.Kendo().DatePicker()
     .Name("FirstMODate")
     .Format("dd.MM.yyyy")
     .ParseFormats(new string[] { "dd.MM.yyyy" })
     .Culture("cs-CZ")
     .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width:100px" })
)

In web config, section system.web configure your culture

<globalization uiCulture="cs-CZ" culture="cs-CZ" />

In layout you need to include kendo culture javascript file

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/kendo/2015.3.930/cultures/kendo.culture.cs-CZ.min.js")"></script>

and add javascript code

$(function () {
    kendo.culture("cs-CZ");
});

Kendo documentation

Or try to add custom rule for your date input:

kendo.ui.validator.rules.mvcdate = function (input) {
        if ($(input.attr('name')) === 'ExpirationDate') {
            return input.val() === "" || kendo.parseDate(input.val(), "dd.MM.yyyy") !== null;
        }
        return true;
    }

try this:

DatePickerFor(model => model.ExpirationDate).Format("{0:dd.MM.yyyy}");
