Hungary to Vote on Finland's Accession to NATO

On Monday, Hungary's National Assembly (unicameral parliament) plans to approve Finland's accession to NATO. 

However, the Hungarian deputies intend to decide on Sweden's accession to NATO at a later time.

The agenda for the March-April meeting, posted on the Parliament's website, includes bills relating to the admission of each of the Nordic countries into NATO.

However, if the document on Finland is said to have been revised and voted upon, the same document on Sweden is marked "in the discussion of the Committee's reports".

Earlier, the parliamentary faction of the ruling party Fidesz - the Hungarian Civil Union, together with its junior partners, the Christian Democratic People's Party, won an overwhelming majority of parliamentary seats.

The faction decided to vote on Finland's membership on 27 March. Its leader, Mate Kocsis, indicated that all coalition members would "vote unanimously in favor". "

The parliamentary group will decide on Sweden at a later time," he added.
