It examines the main principles of acquiring citizenship (jus soli and jus sanguinis) and compares national legislation across EU member states, Turkey, Serbia, and the United Kingdom. The text highlights the importance of international conventions protecting against statelessness and arbitrary deprivation of citizenship, along with the role of ECtHR and CJEU case law.
