Abstract
If there is a good example of a transnational citizenship, European citizenship might be it.
It is definitely not a national citizenship since the European Union (EU) is not a federal State nor was the EU citizenship status created in that direction.
Despite these limitations, EU citizenship has been undergoing significant developments, most of them resulting from the Court of Justice of the European Union’s (CJEU) judicial activism that will eventually transform EU citizenship into something closer to a federal status.
For the moment, despite those very promising developments that I will later describe, EU citizenship is probably the only example of an institutional transnational citizenship because, as I have stated above, it holds most of the citizenship elements and aspires to include all of them.
