Montenegro freezes business citizenship offer

Acting on an EU request, Montenegro has frozen its bid to grant citizenship to wealthy businessmen who invest in the country.

Foreign Ministry official Zeljko Stamatovic insists the government has not abandoned the so-called “economic citizenship” program but says it will be “harmonized” with European Union regulations.

Montenegro gained independence in 2006 and is seeking to join the 27-nation EU.

Montenegro had said previously that anyone who invests more than euro500,000 ($704,200) in the republic can apply for citizenship. Critics say moves will attract shady tycoons.

Montenegro has already granted citizenship to former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who fled corruption charges at home and has promised to invest in Montenegrin tourism.

Let’s take a wild guess. Communist era anti-celebrities? Red stars? Mao outfits? Propaganda posters of the Great Leap Forward?
