The session was scheduled to take place on Monday morning, but was adjourned after members of the ruling Fidesz party, who hold a two-thirds majority in parliament, did not attend.

Opposition lawmakers voiced criticism towards the ruling party members for their absence, saying that it was a sign of disrespect for the parliament and for the Swedish government.

The vote on Sweden's NATO entry has been delayed several times in recent months, with the ruling party citing a number of reasons for the delays.

It is unclear when the vote will be rescheduled. (ILKHA)
