Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said Russian customs officers should work closely with their colleagues from Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia.

In his congratulatory message to customs officers, Medvedev said they are facing new challenges associated primarily with the creation of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), RIA Novisti reported quoting the statement on Cabinet's website.

“Russian customs officers should work closely with their counterparts from Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia, in order to ensure free movement of goods, services, capital and labor,” he said.
