"I am asking the Speaker of Parliament to put the final vote on Sweden's accession protocol to the Atlantic Alliance treaty, which we intend to support, on the agenda for the 26 February session," said Mate Kocsis, leader of the Fidesz parliamentary group, on Facebook.
After months of procrastination, Prime Minister Viktor Orban had already given a favourable signal on Saturday during his State of the Nation address.
