Integration processes, in particular the Union State and the Eurasian Union, on the post-Soviet area are not in competition with each other, said Deputy State Secretary of the Union State Ivan Bambiza during the press conference at “RIA-Novosti” news agency.

Integration processes, in particular the Union State and the Eurasian Union, on the post-Soviet area are not in competition with each other, said Deputy State Secretary of the Union State Ivan Bambiza during the press conference at “RIA-Novosti” news agency.

“They will not cramp each other, on the contrary – they will complement each other. All these processes are interrelated. We are ready to help and support,” he said.

Speaking about the entry of the Customs Union member-states into the WTO, Ivan Bambiza stressed that Russia will support Belarus when holding negotiations on joining this organization.

Today Belarus, he said, is reconciling the issues related to the WTO. Russia’s help will consist in political support aimed at creating favourable conditions during the negotiations.
