NATO membership may take 1 year: “Relatively short period”

Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

If Sweden is not approved as a member of NATO before the summer summit in Vilnius, it will be a year before the next chance comes. Foreign Minister Tobias Billström (M) tells TV4 Nyheterna that it would not be the whole world.

– It is a hypothetical reasoning. But if we assume that, that period would be relatively short. North Macedonia, for example, had to wait ten years to be admitted, he says. At the same time, he emphasizes that such a scenario is not likely.

– We don’t see it being that way. 28 member states have already ratified, he says.
