<p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3">There are already a couple of worthy programs "citizenship for investments" In the region. The most accessible of them is the scheme that operates in Moldova and involves investing an amount of 100 thousand euros.</span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3">The Maltese scheme deserves attention, the participants of which need to pay 10 times more: about 1 million euros in exchange for a visa-free regime in the US and Canada, as well as the other bonuses.</span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3">The Cypriots have twice established a higher "price tag" on their passport. This is compensated at times by the faster passage of all procedures within the local program "citizenship for investment" and more liberal requirements for program participants</span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3">But where can we expect the new European program "citizenship for investments"? It seems that Eastern Europe is the next "battlefield" for the investor. Thus, the authorities of Montenegro, as already mentioned above, are actively engaged in the creation of the program "citizenship for investments", intending to launch this scheme in the nearest future.</span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3">According to the Montenegrin passport it will be possible to travel throughout the united Europe and most countries of South America. But we should not forget that the number of visa-free countries is not the only criterion that should be followed when choosing a new passport and citizenship.</span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3">The authorities of Albania are also likely to voice the proposal to launch such a program in the nearest future. The EU's tolerance to citizenship for investment programs is likely to open the gates to other Balkan countries that will follow suit. Their possible ascent to the EU in the medium term makes participation in the Balkan programs "citizenship for investment" a very attractive option.</span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3">The program "citizenship for investments" can be launched in Serbia, which now attracts more and more Chinese investments. If Chinese business projects are successful, it can attract even more foreign investors to the country from the East, many of whom will voice their desire to receive a passport of Serbia. And, it is possible that the local government will go to meet them.</span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3">But even now, foreigners can use the program to provide Serbian residency to foreign investors.</span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;" face="Calibri" size="3"><span lang="EN-US">Greece is a "dark horse". National pride will hardly allow the Greeks to launch the "citizenship for investment" program. But as such schemes are spreading across Europe, even the Hellenic Republic can find such a proposal, at least deserving serious consideration. Especially in light of the ratio of the state debt of the Greeks to GDP at the level of 180%. Recall that the Greeks had already launched a fairly accessible scheme for the design of residency.</span></span></span></p>
