Tensions have emerged between Sweden and Hungary as the Hungarian Parliament delays Sweden's NATO application process.

Speaker of the Hungarian Parliament, L\u00e1szl\u00f3 K\u00f6v\u00e9r, stated that the matter is not urgent, suggesting there may not be a special session to address Sweden's bid.

Furthermore, K\u00f6v\u00e9r accused Sweden of defaming Hungary.

Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billstr\u00f6m disputes this claim.

Despite Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n's recent assurances that Sweden's application would soon be addressed, the Hungarian Parliament's recess until February 26th raises doubts.

Without a special parliamentary session, Sweden's NATO aspirations remain uncertain.
