Sličan plan 2010. u Crnoj Gori naišao je na oštre kritike, kada je svrgnuti tajlandski premijer Thaksin Shinawatra dobio državljanstvo bez obzira na podignutu optužnicu za korupciju koja ga čeka u njegovoj domovini.
A similar plan came under fire in 2010 in Montenegro, where deposed Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra of Thailand received citizenship despite pending charges of corruption he faced in his home country.
