In the coming days, Sweden is expected to hand over the final NATO accession documents to U.S. representatives, which will be the last step needed to complete the two-year process of the country's accession to the military alliance.

On Tuesday, the Hungarian president signed a lawapproving Sweden's accession to the military alliance, removing the last obstacle to Sweden's path to NATO.

Sweden will become the 32nd member of NATO when it deposits its official documentation. This will end a 200-year stretch of time during which Stockholm has stayed out of military alliances and avoided war.
