Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Friday he did not rule out that the Eurasian Economic Union, a new entity meant to promote further cooperation with the Asia-Pacific region, would be formed in 2015, RIA Novosti reports.
“If prerequisites arise, we will move faster. Let's not get ahead of ourselves, let's not lose our heads. If we can, we will move faster,” Medvedev said at a news conference after talks with his counterparts Alexander Lukashenko from Belarus and Nursultan Nazarbayev from Kazakhstan.
The president also added that several neighboring countries were interested in participating in the new economic union.
“Our life shows us that our multifaceted cooperation is a great mutual resource and this is why our partners in the EurAsEC and the CIS show interest in a new integration structure,” he said.
