Dimitry Kochenov: 'Citizenship by wealth is just as valid'
11 February 2014
Prof. Dimitry Kochenov (EU Constitutional Law) wrote a special opinion piece on selling citizenship in the Tuesday issue of the Times of Malta - the main Maltese newspaper.

Prof. Kochenov is currently preparing an edited volume on EU citizenship and federalism for Cambridge University Press (to be out next year), where the issue of citizenship for sale will also be discussed.| Last modified: | 20 February 2025 1.26 p.m. |
