The Estonian citizenship was granted far more times – 1.9 per population of 1,000 in 2012, almost twice more than the Latvian citizenship, 1 per 1,000.

In 2012, the Lithuanian citizenship was mostly conferred to individuals who had no citizenship before (47 percent of all cases) and to people who previously held citizenship of Russia (27.2 percent), Ukraine (11.4 percent) or Belarus (6.4 percent).
