LULE?, Sweden — Sweden has met all of its commitments to join NATO and expects to become part of the transatlantic military alliance by July, Tobias Billstr?m, the country’s foreign minister, told POLITICO.

Speaking on the sidelines of the EU-U.S. Trade and Technology Council summit, Billstr?m said Stockholm had assuaged all of the concerns from Turkey, an existing NATO member which has held up Sweden’s application over concerns about its support for Kurdish groups which Ankara considers to be terrorist entities. Longtime leader Recep Tayyip Erdo?an secured a new term as Turkish president on Sunday.

Sweden’s tweaks included updating its domestic terrorism legislation, which will come into effect on June 1, to include lengthy prison terms for individuals convicted of participating in extremist organizations in ways that promote such groups. That is a veiled reference to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which has a following in Sweden but is banned in Turkey.

Billstr?m said he now expected Sweden to join the alliance ahead of a NATO meeting in Vilnius on July 11.

“We have delivered everything that we said that we were going to do,” Billstr?m said. “There is a high expectation that we will be a member before Vilnius.”
