"I don't have Yugoslav citizenship, I just got passport to travel", Handke told "Vecernje Novosti".
He responded to the allegations of an online news web portal "Intercept", that back in 1999, a Yugoslav passport was handed over to him, in the Embassy of the then Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which, as the media claims, automatically caused him legal loss of Austrian citizenship.
According to the Vienna-based daily "Österreich", after getting the information that Handke received a Yugoslav passport in 1999, Austrian Ministry of Internal Affairs had launched an investigation.
"Whoever voluntarily acquires foreign citizenship, loses Austrian citizenship. In order not to lose Austrian citizenship, it is necessary to apply for a permit in writing before obtaining another passport and obtain approval", the Austrian Ministry of Internal Affairs explained.
It is stated that it is currently being investigated whether Handke sought for such approval, but, as "Österreich" adds, this was not likely to be the case.
I wouldn't be proud of a Criminal-SS-Obersturmbannführer-Sieg-Heil-Fail Austrian passport, to hell with it, good riddance. Criminal Austria is not much better than the criminal (West)Germany. They can't pay enough for their crimes.
Since Peter Handke lives in France almost 30 years, he can get a much better and much more honorable French citizenship like 1-2-3.
