Swedish PM says probability Finland joins NATO before Sweden has increased

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on Tuesday that the likelihood that Finland joins the NATO military alliance before Sweden had increased, though it was only a matter of time before Sweden became a member.

Sweden and Finland applied to join NATO last year but have faced objections from Turkey which says the two countries harbour members of what it considers a terrorist groups. The countries resumed talks on the process in Brussels last week.
