Up to date, the Common State remains a desk-top state formation, which has no central presidence, legislative, executive and judicial power, citizenship, emblem, flag etc. In the context of the Customs Union – Common Free Market Zone – Eurasian Economic Union integration project development, which includes Kazakhstan alongside Russia and Belarus, the Common State faces the intrinsic problem of survival. Being in stagnation since 2007, this formation gradually evolves, seeks to adapt for a fast-changing situation in the Post-Soviet space.
