The following scientists were engaged in researching of the following issue: Kushkin S. U., Muraviov V. I., Svyatun O. V., Tragniuk O. Y., Yakoviuk I. V., Yankovskyi S. A. and others. Article’s main part. Formally established in 1992 citizenship of the European Union is a relatively new legal attribute. A scope of citizenship is also difficult to define as the EU is not a state. Union citizenship is therefore a different concept from the commonly understood as devolving from the state, and must be understood in such a context. For better comprehension of the nature of the EU citizenship on the modern stage is necessary to provide legal classification of the list of these rights. It is possible to divide these rights (1) due to the subjects which are entitled to enjoy them: exclusive rights of the EU citizens, rights of the EU citizens which in some circumstances shall be realized by other groups of individuals, general rights which shall be realized both by the EU citizens and other individuals; (2) due to the subject matter – political rights connected with the power of the EU and possibility to influence on it and other non-political rights; (3) due to the level of realization – rights which shall be realized on domestic level of member states, level of the member states, EU level and international level; (4) due to the mode of realization – individual and collective rights. Conclusions and prospects for further development. Legal investigation of the list of EU citizens’ rights makes possible to state, that modern scope of the EU citizenship is more than just a formal fixation of the unity of the European nations. It provides several rights which are necessary to be given due to the general European level. This list is narrower than that of traditional state citizenship as it is a compromise between all member states protecting different vectors in the process of the European integration.
