The forum was a continuation of the international conference “Eurasian Union: Ambitions, Problems, Prospects”, held here in June 2012, but it was more ambitious, both in terms of the number of events held in Kazan itself and the availability of other venues. This time, the organizers included Minsk, Astana, Kiev, Beijing, Brussels, Moscow and St. Petersburg via video communication system. All discussions were also broadcast on the Internet on the websites of the organizers.
