Belarusians Want to Live In Europe
15:09, 24/05/2004

The attitudes of the peoples of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine to this or that type of integration have their differences and characteristic features. For instance, half of Russian citizens would like to continue living in their own country and are not aspiring to live in some state or state unions and commonwealths. The Ukrainians and Belarusians, on the contrary, are inclined to have different forms of unions between the states. The united Europe seems more appealing to the Belarusians (28%), while the Ukrainians prefer the union of Slavic states (23%). These are the figures of the surveys carried out by All-Russian Center of Public Opinion Research (ACPOR) in cooperation with sociology center “Novak” (Belarus) and Donetsk informational and analytical center (DIAC) before the summit of the countries-members of the Single Economical Space, Interfax informs. In every country the research was made within national representative selection (1200-1800 people).
