It has been six months since Sweden applied for Swedish membership in NATO.
Since then, 28 out of 30 NATO countries have approved Sweden's application – all except Hungary and Turkey.
But the experts disagree on what tactics Sweden should have in the negotiations with Turkey.
"Unworthy"
Bitte Hammargren, Middle East analyst linked to the Foreign Policy Institute, is critical of Sweden not putting its foot down vis-a-vis Turkey.
- You go beyond what the agreement stipulates.
As Jens Stoltenberg says, Sweden already meets the requirements in the conditions, you don't need to go any further, she says.
She believes that Sweden's latest visit to Ankara, led by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M), was an "unworthy visit".
- He didn't get home what he wanted, namely a ratification, she says.
The government does what it promised
But Mike Winnerstig, security policy analyst who works at FOI, Sweden's government is doing what the previous government promised in the accession agreement that it would do.
- There it is written clearly that they unequivocally condemn all terrorist organizations that have to do with the PKK, he says.
What should Sweden and NATO do now in order for Sweden to become a member as soon as possible?
- I think you need to look at the agreement that was concluded last summer and see if Sweden fulfills it.
If Sweden does it, Turkey has no arguments to demand that Sweden omit more and more people, says Mike Winnerstig.
Bitte Hammargren disagrees.
- Sweden should wait out Turkey's election campaign.
President Erdogan has no interest in meeting Sweden right now, he wants to appear as a strong leader, she says.
