TIRANA, May 17 – Swedish Ambassador Elsa Hastad reacted to her country’s application to NATO at a press conference on Tuesday saying the decision was supported by a majority of the Swedish parliament.
She said Sweden is prepared for anything if it faces attacks from Russia in response to NATO membership. She also stressed that she has received the guarantee for Sweden’s support from Prime Minister Edi Rama.
“Yesterday I met with Prime Minister Rama and Mrs. Olta Xhaçka. Both assured me that they would support Sweden in its NATO process. This is a historic day for us and NATO. Sweden is ready for anything,” said the Ambassador.
According to her, what they expect most in the matter of attacks are cyber or misinformation attacks aimed at destabilizing Sweden.
“We are helping Albania a lot. Sweden is applying for NATO membership and Albania has EU aspirations. Sweden is helping Albania in Brussels, in EU bodies and with funds,” said Ambassador Hastad. /Argumentum.al
