On November 16, Sweden's parliament will vote on constitutional changes to strengthen anti-terrorist laws, a key demand for Turkey to approve Stockholm's bid for NATO membership. This is stated in the statement of the constitutional committee of the Swedish Parliament.
"The Constitutional Committee has worked on a proposal to introduce an amendment to the constitution, which allows limiting the freedom of assembly for groups engaged in terrorism... The Committee suggests that the Riksdag agree to the proposal," the message reads.
The parliament's announcement of the upcoming vote followed a visit to Ankara on Tuesday by Sweden's new prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, where he met with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Kristersson promised to take a tougher stance on fighting crime and terrorism during a visit to Turkey.
The vote is scheduled for November 16, and the change is expected to take effect on January 1.
Experts said the new law would make it easier to prosecute members of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has been blacklisted by Ankara and most of its Western allies.
In Sweden, a constitutional amendment must be approved by two separate parliaments, with a general election held between them. The first vote took place under Sweden's previous left-wing government.
Kristersson, who won Sweden's general election on September 11, called the constitutional amendment a "big step".
