      Well if it’s only talking again then I see no problem. After all the problem the EU has with Turkey still exist and all need to agree with them joining. Good luck getting Greece on board.

      So basically Sweden has promised to try to get the process starting again but they will then just run against the same wall of opposition Turkey is already facing. But I guess if Turkey manages to blackmail 26 more states then they can get somewhere.
