    I have American citizenship and I don't intend to drop it for citizenship from one of the ex-Yugoslav states. It's simply not worth it as having a Serbian citizenship would be much less beneficial than having American citizenship (unless I want to travel to Russia visa-free ). Until Yugoslavia is restored and I can take Yugoslavian citizenship, I won't bother acquiring another citizenship.

    Concerning dual citizenship, I don't mind as long it is kept to just two (holding more than two citizenship is a bit too much). Holding a citizenship these days is less about loyalty and more about convenience anyhow.

    It is something I have thought about, especially that given my own personal conditions I may be leaving my country of residence to that of my partner.

    From the political perspective of an individual, it would be beneficial to have as many citizenships as possible. Given the very nature of international relations, it seems that one country is always at the throat of another. This has a wave effect on all countries associated with them. Having the right passport in the right situation is of great advantage.

    Given what I have written above, it follows that it is a possibility that the two countries of which you hold citizenship might be involved in a conflict, whether of political of military nature.

    Well I am entitled up to 6 citizenships as far as I know: Argentinian, Peruvian, Italian, Croatian and... Israeli I think, or even the Spanish one if I could find my great grandmother's birth certificate. Most of them, of course, because of jus sanguinis. My half sister, is entitled to all those plus the Polish one I think.

    I currently only have the Argentinian one, and my family has applied for the Italian one like 2 years ago, and we are still waiting for the letter from the embassy. Of course, I was younger then and didn't mind much or played a role in that decision, but I don't think it should upset anyone. The ancestry we identify ourselves the most with, is indeed the Italian one, followed by the Croatian.

    In said hypothetical situation he should of course loose his other nationality and is send to Morocco, the country he feels the most stronger loyalty to.

    If I end up moving to another (European) country or Canada for professional reasons, which I might depending on the profile I choose later on on my degree, I will seriously consider it, assuming the country is in good shape for me and my family to live in.

    No. You can't be a member of two communities.
    It's THAT simple.

    rolleyes Multiple citizenship

    Basically, multiple citizenship,or world citizenship, is a Marxist notion. This is why the Communist anthem was the "Internationale" . Communism was supposed to unite the workers of the WORLD. Allegiance was supposed to be first to the Communist Party and then to any national state.

    The Marxist version of multiple citizenship is merely the extreme example. It throws into question the issue of the meaning of citizenship. What is a citizen ? Is he merely one who holds a country's passport ? Or is he one who accepts the obligations incumbent on a citizen and participates in its society and government ?

    Is his loyalty to the country merely pro forma, like that of a president who refuses to salute the flag, disdains the national anthem and ignores the Constitution of the country,or does it represent a deeply-felt personal conviction .If the latter, can one be truly loyal to more than one country ?
    Does not divided loyalty imply a divided heart ? Or worse, insincerity and superficiality ?

    How can one claim allegiance to more than one country and not be a hypocrite ?

    That's exactly why, even if I would leave the country, I would never accept foreign citizenship. How remote the chance would be and however befriended they might be with the Netherlands, there is always the remote chance that the Netherlands and that country could face off on the field of battle. And I would never like to take up arms against my own kin because I was so stupid to accept foreign citizenship.

    So being clever - I won't. Foreign residency ? Yes. Citizenship ? No.
