“…Sweden will become the 32nd #NATO Ally. Sweden’s membership will make us all stronger and safer” Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg

[Sweden in EU @SwedeninEU]

At our office today. Two years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Sweden continues to #StandWithUkraine 🇸🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺

🧵(1/2) Welcome confirmation at Coreper of the agreement on the EU law on violence against women and domestic violence.

While 🇸🇪 regrets it does not cover rape based on lack of consent, the law is a milestone which strongly will contribute to the safety and security of women ->

[Ulf Kristersson @SwedishPM]

Today we are one step closer to becoming a full member of NATO. Positive that the Grand General Assembly of Türkiye has voted in favour of Sweden’s NATO accession.

[Åsa Garnert @AsaGarnert]

@andrew_r_gray Congratulations!

[Charles Michel @CharlesMichel]

The European Council has decided to open accession negotiations with Ukraine & Moldova.

#EUCO granted candidate status to Georgia. And the EU will open negotiations with Bosnia and Herzegovina once the necessary degree of compliance with the membership criteria is reached and has invited the commission to report by March with a view to taking such a decision.

A clear signal of hope for their people and for our continent.

#StandWithUkraine

[Sara Keusen @SaraKeusen]

Viktig debatt att föra - allt färre svenska journalister bevakar EU-politiken på plats i Bryssel. Det är till syvende och sist en fråga om hur vårt demokratiska system bevakas och beskrivs.

[Sweden in EU @SwedeninEU]

Everyday reminder at the @EUCouncil of the why the EU was founded – the EU’s #NobelPrize for peace, awarded in 2012, and on permanent display in the Justus Lipsius building.

This year’s awards are announced this week – today the prize for Literature!

The EU political and security (PSC) ambassadors are currently in Sweden. A visit to Gotland and its growing regiment gave deeper insights into the geostrategic importance of the island and Sweden’s commitment to contributing to security in the region. #EU2023SE

#EuropeDay held on 9 May every year celebrates peace and unity in Europe.

The date marks the anniversary of the historic 'Schuman declaration' that set out his idea for a new form of political cooperation in Europe, which would make war between Europe's nations unthinkable.
