  2. Americans can’t stand not turning something into a meaningless shell for their own vanity.

  5. > “I’m a Serb who lives in America and that’s how I wanna be,”

    says an American-born son of American-born parents, with a Polish last name. Seems legit.

    On a serious note, is it explained anywhere in the article why would he suddenly feel being Serb? Has he lived in Serbia last decade or anything like that? I can’t check myself because of a paywall.

  6. Full article:

    Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Wozniak will receive a Serbian passport after accepting an offer from President Aleksandar Vucic just days ahead of parliamentary elections in the Balkan nation.

    “I’m a Serb who lives in America and that’s how I wanna be,” Wozniak, 73, told reporters alongside Vucic after their meeting in Belgrade.

    The Serbian leader, who is in the midst of campaigning ahead of Dec. 17 elections to help his political party remain in power, praised Wozniak and referred to him as a “computer genius who is now a Serb.”

    Wozniak, who was briefly hospitalized last month after suffering a minor stroke, said he and his wife Janet, who will also receive the Serbian citizenship, continue to travel extensively and are particularly interested in eastern Europe and Serbia.

    Wozniak also said he would help promote events in Serbia that are part of EXPO 2027, a major international exhibition. Serbian passport holders can travel visa-free to the European Union nations, as well as to Russia and China, among other destinations.

    “I wanna be a part of that, I want to help promote Serbia and Serbian interests for the rest of my life,” he said.

  7. Only in the U.S. would someone suddenly feel being a different nation… tell an American he is Italian and suddenly he has to wave his arms around 😂

  8. this is just further proof that actually everyone is Serbian

  10. Didn’t he want to become Australian a good few years ago too?

    He claims to not like wealth or money….but this random claim to Serbia is a bit weird. He also had a mini stroke a few months ago…so that might explain this weird behaviour.

  12. Attention whore finds a way to get into the news again. Why become Serbian now?? It’s not like he even needs citizenship, he is wealthy enough to live anywhere he chooses

  13. …ok Woz, renounce your US citizenship, pay the exit tax and fuck off.

  15. Interesting. If he likes Serbia that’s awesome for him.
