EU-Belarus relations have seen many changes throughout the years ranging from closer
engagement to isolation. Although recently the relations started to improve, the main
international agreement between Belarus and the EU is still the one concluded by the Soviet
Union. Even though there are plans on changing the situation and concluding a new
international framework agreement with the EU, it is clear that Eurasian integration is of
primary importance for Belarus. This article focuses on analyzing the legal basis of the
EU-Belarus relations, the effect that international contractual obligations have on the
domestic legal order, and the way membership to the Eurasian Economic Union influences
that.
