Hello there, i am 25 years old and i live in Kosovo. My grandmother was croatian ( born and raised in Croatia ) and she married my grandfather and moved to Kosovo before 1950 and never went back to Croatia, so i was thinking of applying for Croatian passport but i have some questions which i hope will get answered here:
1) i have an old birth certificate of my grandmother but it is from 2005, so i need an updated one but i don't know how to get it, i tried contacting the embassy here in Pristina i wrote them some emails but havent heard from them in weeks, does anyone know how can i get an updated birth certificate and domovnica of my grandmother ? i know all of her infos since i have an old birth certificate
2) I heard that i need to speak very good croatian which i don't, i know that there is a citizenship test but i would study for that
3) i've read article 11 and it says like this: A person who has emigrated from the area of the Republic of Croatia on the basis of an international treaty or
has renounced the Croatian citizenship, and a person who has changed his place of residence into that of one of
the other countries that were formerly a part of the state union of which the Republic of Croatia was also a part,
is not considered to be an emigrant since my grandmother emigrated to Kosovo ( which was part of Yugoslavia same as croatia at the time ) does that mean she is not considered an emigrant ? i thought ( and i hope ) she would be considered an emigrant since Kosovo was not a republic at the time and Kosovo became a country in 2008 so my grandmother has an UNMIK passport and that passport WAS never part of any Yugoslavian country...
Thank you very much i hope i was clear and you understand my questions.
