Victor Ponta was granted Serbian citizenship alongside actor Steven Seagal, coinciding with the political downfall of Aleksandar Vucic. Ponta's long-standing friendship with Vucic dates back to his tenure as Romania's Prime Minister. Vucic recently resigned amid political tensions after losing parliamentary elections to a pro-European party. Ponta's citizenship was partly a reward for his controversial decision to flood Romanian villages to prevent flooding in Serbia. Seagal, known for his pro-Putin stance, has visited Moscow frequently and supports Russia's actions in Ukraine. Ponta expressed pride in receiving honorary citizenship from Serbia, highlighting his affection for the country.
