Hungary may ratify Sweden’s NATO membership bid in the autumn, a ruling Fidesz party lawmaker said, which would clear one of the last bottlenecks remaining for the Nordic nation to become a full-fledged member of the alliance.
An extraordinary parliament session won’t be needed to approve the decision, Zsolt Nemeth, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of parliament, told Inforadio in an interview. Instead it’s expected to be discussed when parliament reconvenes for its regular autumn session in mid-September.
