Turkish, Swedish leaders to hold meeting on Stockholm’s accession to NATO before summit

Talks between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson will be held in Vilnius on Monday less than a day before the NATO summit kicks off.

It is expected that this will be the last attempt to achieve at least some progress on lifting Turkey’s veto on Sweden’s accession to the alliance.

"What is possible and what we are all working to achieve is a positive decision at the summit where Turkiye makes clear that they are ready to ratify, but then we still have some work to do and we are working on that now," NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said.

On July 6 in Brussels, a meeting, mediated by Stoltenberg, was held between the top diplomats, intelligence and security chiefs of Turkey, Sweden and Finland, without achieving any practical results.
