Thailand's Fugitive Ex-Prime Minister Gets Serbian Citizenship
Serbia has granted citizenship to Thailand's former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra who fled the Southeastern Asian country nearly two years ago to avoid prosecution.
Serbia’s Official Gazette published the notice about the decision on August 8.
The government decided to grant Yingluck citizenship on June 27, citing a legal provision that a foreign citizen can be granted Serbian citizenship if that’s in line with the country's interest.

With a Serbian passport, the ex-prime minister can travel without a visa to more than 100 countries, including most of members of the European Union.
