April 11, 2018 - 18:31 By Nam Kyung-don


Moroccans ranked as the top nationals who have obtained the nationality of a European country, followed by Albanians and Indians, according to Eurostat data.
A total of 820 people from North Korea acquired citizenship of member countries of the European Union in the 2007-2016 period, with nearly 90 percent of them living in Germany and Britain, the EU‘s statistics office showed in a report.
Most are believed to have defected to and settled in Europe after escaping from North Korea, given that the acquisition of European citizenship is made through naturalization, marriage or asylum.
