Embassy in Sweden solves document problem where Kosovo citizens registered as Serbian citizens

Through an announcement has become known that after citizens' concerns that the state of Serbia has been written in their documents along with Kosovo, Kosovo's ambassador there, Shkefije Geci-Sherifi, has begun working in this respect and this issue has been resolved successfully.

From now on, in your documents the state of Kosovo will only figure since: The Swedish Tax Agency has changed its policy and will no longer register Kosovo citizens as Serbian citizens in the Swedish Population Register, when an individual moves to Sweden from Kosovo”, the report said.

The fact is that even the “Tax Agency will register citizenship based on the passport of the individual or documents from the Migration Agency, for example, upppehillst@ndkort, individuals who are registered as Kosovo and Serbian citizens may require the removal of Serbian citizenship registration”.

The Tax Agency will verify the request based on documents submitted by the individual, available information when the individual came to Sweden and other circumstances related to the actual case. Thank you for addressing this problem at the Embassy, co-operation, as well as the patience shown”, says the communique.
