As the security situation in the Baltic Sea region becomes more complex, and as tensions continue between Russia and its neighbours, the role of NATO is of increasing interest. What is NATO’s strategy for stability in the region? And what challenges does it face regionally and further afield?

This seminar is arranged by Folk och Försvar and the British Embassy in Stockholm.
