Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has discussed a new integration project in the post-Soviet space - the Eurasian Union, Izvestia reports.
Formation of the Eurasian Union is impossible without the experience of the Soviet Union within the framework of the Russian-Belarusian Allied State, the Collective Security Treaty Organization, the Eurasian Economic Community, the Customs Union and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
Putin described prospects for the new union. The Common Economic Space would form an enormous market with over 165 million consumers, unified laws, free movement of capital, services and labour. It could form a single economic space from Lisbon to Vladivostok.
Political analyst Leonid Gusev said that such a project is realisable, but further prospects are unclear. So far only Kazakhstan and Belarus benefit from the Customs Union, he told Vestnik Kavkaza.
