During the 1990s, the Eurasian integration process was slow, possibly due to the economic crisis experienced after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the size of the countries involved (Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan cover an area of about 20 million km²).
Tijekom 1990-ih, proces euroazijske integracije bio je spor, moguće zbog gospodarske krize koja se dogodila nakon raspada Sovjetskog Saveza i veličine država koje je zahvatila (Bjelorusija, Kazakstan i Rusija prostiru se na oko 20 milijuna km2).
