Algeria has summoned the top diplomats from Sweden and Denmark to the country’s foreign ministry, NTB reports.
The background is the Koran burnings in Sweden and Denmark, which Algeria condemns and wants to file an official protest against.
Swedish ambassadors have been summoned in several countries and demonstrations in protest against Sweden have been held in, among other places, Baghdad, Beirut and Tehran after Thursday’s Koran campaign in Sweden.
