- Please find attached next issue of the Bulletin PISM: “Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan” by Anna Maria Dyner.
Established last July, the customs union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan may prove to be a source of positive impulses for the economies involved, even if at the same time it will strengthen Russian influences in the remaining two countries. Thanks to the union, Russia may get more instruments for influencing the neighbors economically, and it might apply them already in the course of the forthcoming presidential election in Belarus.
