Abstract

Dual citizenship or bipolis-system seems to be a way the small European nations should feel safe within a framework of the European integration, whereas a responsibility for a personal security lays upon an allied country too. Is this term or hypothesis vital for East European countries like Lithuania, Estonia or Georgia, and how can we be aware of this necessity? A research of historical background must be involved thoroughly, Georgia being an object for this case. If a foreign citizenship was a traditional honorary degree passed from the European principal domains towards the provinces, the countries being tied up formally, it should not be abandoned at all, and put under a scrupulous legislative elaboration.
