Barely two months after Foreign Minister Ann Linde (S) and her Finnish colleague Pekka Haavisto signed the agreement with Turkey, i.e. the one that ultimately led to the veto against the countries' NATO applications, the countries will now meet again.
And according to Haavisto, the meeting is to take place in Finland.
His special advisor Tomi Nyström elaborates for SVT:
- He has said that the meeting will be held in Finland in August.
All the countries want this first meeting to take place as soon as possible and there will probably be more meetings in the others, he says.
Nyström does not share an exact date for the meeting, but according to information to Aftonbladet, it may all take place on August 26.
The meeting is about establishing a mechanism that will ensure that the countries really fulfill what was agreed upon in Madrid earlier this summer.
Media reports yesterday first claimed that the meeting would be held in Sweden, but this was later denied by the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
