Earlier, Foreign Minister Tobias Billström was “completely convinced” that Sweden will become a member of NATO by July. Now he changes his choice of words. – I think hopeful in this context is better, he says according to TT. Foreign Minister Tobias Billström (M) said in an interview with SVT’s Agenda two weeks ago that he was “completely convinced” that Sweden would become a NATO member for the summit in Vilnius in July. Now he has changed his choice of words to say he has “high hopes”. – I have noticed that these things that have been presented in recent days, especially from Hungary’s side, mean that you always have reason to moderate your words, says Billström to TT. Hungary has recently said that Swedish politicians criticize the country’s judiciary. Among other things, it has been said that Sweden has a “lack of respect” and “moral superiority”. Tobias Billström says to the news agency that he still believes that Hungary will say yes to the Swedish application. – We see no reason why we should not be ratified. See an interview with Billström in the clip above.
