Sweden is gearing up for the next general election, which takes place tomorrow on 13 September.
And we take voting seriously – really seriously! 🇸🇪🗳️
From 26 August until and including 5 September the Embassy was also a polling station receiving voters - their votes are sent to Sweden.

With voter turnout above 80 per cent for more than six decades, it's fair to say Swedes have made a habit of showing up at the polls.

Let's look at what's behind this strong commitment to voting. 👀

Today marks 23 years since we lost our dear colleague and Minister for Foreign Affairs Anna Lindh.

Anna was a major and influential force for human rights and equal worth of all people. During her political career, she pushed for a strong international community and stressed the importance of UN and EU efforts building on conflict prevention measures.

Her valuable work and memory live on.

What if you could do brain surgery without opening the skull? This is exactly what Swedish neurosurgeon Lars Leksell (1907–1986) pioneered. ✨
🧠 Leksell came up with the concept of radiosurgery in the 1950s, using focused radiation to treat brain tissue. After years of work, this led to the development of the 'Gamma Knife', first installed in Stockholm in the 1960s.
👨‍⚕️The device directs multiple beams of radiation at a precise target within the brain, enabling highly accurate treatment of brain tumours and other brain diseases without damaging healthy tissue.
❤️‍🩹 Radiosurgery has become one of the most important advances in modern medicine and has helped millions of patients worldwide.
In 1972, Leksell founded Swedish company Elekta, which manufactures equipment for radiation therapy and radiosurgery based on his inventions. Today, Elekta is a global business with offices in 40+ countries.

Glad to see this feature of Mr. Bekri Ajdini from Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of North Macedonia who was one of two participants from North Macedonia 🇲🇰 in the 🇸🇪 Swedish Trade Academy on EU 🇪🇺 integration 2026, organized by the Swedish National Board of Trade.

Mr Ajdini notes that: ”As North Macedonia advances towards EU membership, this knowledge will help me contribute to institutional coordination, policy alignment and institutional preparedness. It will also be valuable for supporting companies from North Macedonia seeking to expand within the EU market and internationally”.

What does Trade Academy EU Integration offer in practice? Four participants share how the programme has deepened their knowledge of the EU and provided practical insights they can apply in their work.
