BUDAPEST (Reuters) -Hungary's parliament will not hold a vote on Sweden's NATO membership next week, according to its schedule released on Thursday, further delaying ratification of the move by the Western alliance.
Sweden, dropping a longtime policy of military non-alignment following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, has set its sights on formal accession at NATO's July 11-12 summit but, while it has strong support from other members including the United States, both Turkey and Hungary have so far blocked ratification.
