It is the same project if you think that the ideological foundations of the European Union are those of the Pan-Europe of the Austrian aristocrat Coundenhove-Kalergi, which he deviced as Eurafrica, while Russia would integrate in a union of Eurasia.
Edit: I've been trying for a while to get hold of this text:
title: European Transfigurations - Eurafrica and Eurasia: Coudenhove and Trubetzkoy Revisited
author: Botz-Bornstein, T.
journal title: EUROPEAN LEGACY
bibliographic details: 2007, VOL 12; NUMBER 5, pages 565-575
If anyone finds it, please let me know.
