The issue of Sweden's accession to NATO spoiled relations with Turkey.

APA reports that Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billström said this in an interview with Swedish Radio.

"Now the relations between the two countries are cold. This is natural. But it seems to me that all attention should be focused on the future," said the head of MFA.

Billström said that the deterioration of relations with Turkey is not an obstacle for Sweden's NATO membership.

According to him, in the process of joining NATO, the way is for Sweden to fulfill part of the agreements, part of which has been implemented.
