At the NATO meeting in Bucharest, Stoltenberg says that Sweden and Finland would strengthen NATO, and brings up examples of how Sweden has delivered regarding the settlement between Sweden, Finland and Turkey.
- Sweden, for example, has changed its constitution.
Sweden has tightened and strengthened its laws against terrorism, he says.
Stoltenberg also emphasizes that it is the courts that must make individual extradition decisions.
- That's how it works in democratic countries.
At the NATO meeting, Turkey, Sweden and Finland will meet - but no major successes in terms of the application processes are expected there.
- We will exchange views, but ultimately it is about living up to the tripartite agreement that was signed at the NATO meeting in Madrid this summer between Sweden, Finland and Turkey, said Foreign Minister Tobias Billström (M) when he arrived at the meeting.
"Getting there"
He answered a question from the journalists if he expects any progress in Sweden's accession process to NATO.
On entering the meeting, he was asked what he thinks about Turkey saying that Sweden is not doing enough for the Turkish parliament to be able to approve Sweden's membership in NATO.
-We believe that we are well on our way to fulfilling the points of the agreement, says Billström and points out that it is not just about Sweden complying with the agreement, Turkey must also make it easier for the Swedish judiciary to access people in Turkey who are suspects of crimes in Sweden.
