Stockholm has completely fulfilled its obligations for accession to NATO, there should be no obstructions on Sweden’s path to the alliance, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said during a press conference Tuesday, which was followed by Finland’s flag being raised on the 31st pole near the NATO headquarters, TASS reports.
"We are in close contact with Ankara," Stoltenberg said. "Not only Finland, but also Sweden has delivered on the commitments they have made on the trilateral agreement, so nothing should hinder or be an obstacle for final ratification for Sweden to become a member," he said.
In turn, Finnish President Sauli Niinisto promised to do everything for prompt admission of Sweden.
