“The offer remains on the table…Unfortunately, Brussels has not reacted very actively in its response to our offer on beginning the practical work on creating the proclaimed goals,” Lavrov said during a joint press conference with Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian in Moscow.
The Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), established January 1, 2015, facilitates the free movement of goods, services, capital and labor on the territories of the member states.
Current member countries include Russia, Armenia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, with Kyrgyzstan expecting to obtain membership soon.
About 40 countries and groups of states have officially declared their readiness to create a free trade zone with the EEU, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily Nebenzya said in December.
