	The idea of political federation in East African region has a long history. It was particularly popular during the early post-colonial era, when Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda were searching for possibilities of federation. Instead, a regional integration organism was formed, called the East African Community (EAC), which operated between 1967 and 1977. A renewal of federalist ideas in the region could be observed since 2001, when the EAC became active again. The paper presents the idea of a political federation and analyses the attempts of its implementation by East African countries. A descriptive analysis performed from a historical perspective led to the conclusion that despite the time span and many economic and political changes a practical implementation of federalist ideas in East African Countries remains very difficult, especially by the initial date, set in the year 2015. Therefore, a question arises about the sense and real possibilities of achieving such a serious integration target in the reality of underdeveloped African countries.</p>},
