Note that an EU country citizenship by extension results in an EU citizenship. All EU citizens are granted special rights such as freedom of movement, right to work, social welfare, et cetera all throughout the EU. If a country sells its citizenships, that country alone benefits financially from that transaction, but the potential obligations are borne by the entire EU community. In my opinion, there is nothing inherently wrong about a country selling its citizenship, but in the EU framework it seems to go against the good faith principles that the EU is built on.
