Up to 600 people were expected to gather in Stockholm to protest against Sweden's NATO bid.
Swedish Defence Minister Pal Jonson looks on, as he visits soldiers from the Armed Forces of Ukraine who are taking part in the UK-led basic training programme, on a military training camp, in an unspecified location in the North East of England, Britain, November 9, 2022.
Separately, an anti-immigration politician from the far-right fringe, Rasmus Paludan, planned to burn a copy of the Muslim holy book the Koran near the Turkish Embassy. A group of pro-Turkish demonstrators had also received a permit to gather outside the embassy. Jonson said separately he and Akar had met on Friday during a meeting of Western allies in Germany and had decided to postpone the planned meeting.
