Community of Integrated States

The Commonwealth of Integrated States ( GIS ) was an attempt at reintegration and an association of some members of the Commonwealth of Independent States .

In April 1996 representatives of Belarus , Kazakhstan , Kyrgyzstan and Russia signed a treaty establishing a community for enhanced cooperation based on the EU model.

The invitation of the then Russian President Yeltsin to Bulgaria to join the community angered the Bulgarian government in 1996.

In February 1999, Tajikistan also joined. In fact, the agreed supranational institutions never took up their work. In October 2000 the GIS members decided to form the Eurasian Economic Community .
