Abstract

European Citizenship: A Geopolitical Issue. – The signatory states of the Maastricht Treaty resolved to “establish a citizenship common to nationals of their countries".

The term “European citizenship” is perceived as a condition by which people from different nations should have similar rights, but there are still many uncertainties that accompany this process.
