Integration of the Eurasian Economic Union in Comparison to European Union Integration

The aim of the article is to show the specificity of the integration of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) on the example of the integration of the European Union (EU). The EEU is a relatively young grouping that was established in 2015 by Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic and the Russian Federation. Its creators try to give the Eurasian integration process a different direction in contrast to the structures that were created in the post-Soviet space. The EU was founded in 1993, but the beginning of the foundation falls on 1957, in which the treaties establishing the European Economic Community were signed by six founding countries: France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The article presents the functioning of the EEU, its objectives, assumptions and forecasts for the further process of merging national economies.
