Only during 2019, over 5,300 citizens have taken this action. In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the main reason for giving up citizenship is not allowing two citizenships in various states where many Kosovars have migrated.
At a time when no visa liberalisation exists, expectations for visa equipment continue to be long. The number of Kosovars who, for various reasons, are also leaving the country. And some of those, who are looking for better life, have just left their country, are also giving up on Kosovo's citizenship.
Roxana Charles, official for information at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, tells of the number of those who over the past three years have sought to be released from Kosovo citizenship, writes Rtclives. com
“in the course of 2019, out of the citizenship of the Republic of Kosovo, 5350 persons have been released, usually Albanians released from citizenship. During 2018, 5463 persons have been released from the citizenship of the Republic of Kosovo, while during 2017 the number of citizens is 5700 people”, Charles said.
The data says that for three years, all 16 thousand and 513 Kosovars have renounced Kosovo's citizenship. This number, if the last census is taken for a basis, is for 1,026 greater than the total number of two Kosovo municipalities -- Elez's Hani, which in 2011 had 9,403 residents and Yunik, where 6,084 citizens were registered. spokesperson Charles, in conversation with our radio, points out the main reasons Kosovars are urging them to seek freedom from citizenship.
Rrexana Charles: “Arsyet why people give up their citizenship in the Republic of Kosovo is because many European Union states do not allow two citizenships, including some non-EU states. Given that a large number of our citizens are now living in these countries and as a result, they have earned the right to earn citizenship and are obliged to be set free from previous citizenship, in case they want to gain that country's citizenship.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the total number of citizens who currently have Kosovo citizenship and are alive is 2 million and 458 thousand and 319 people.
