Abstract

EU citizenship has been a transnational citizenship so far. The rights conferred by it were conditional to a cross-border element. Otherwise, they were to be relegated to a purely internal situation. They were subject to economic conditions too. Political rights also had a predominantly transnational nature. On the other hand, nationality of Member States was a requirement for EU citizenship, but the latter could not affect the former.
In recent rulings, the Court of Justice of the European Union has brought some changes in this respect, setting the stage for an imminent transformation of EU citizenship into supranational citizenship. This paper aims at analyzing the key elements of this transition.
