Ulf Kristersson announces temporary plans for increased security and border controls amid growing diplomatic crisis
Threats to Sweden have increased after recent Qur’an burnings, the country’s prime minister has said, amid a growing diplomatic crisis over protests that have angered many Muslims worldwide.
Speaking a day after the latest Qur’an burning outside the Swedish parliament, Ulf Kristersson told a press conference in Stockholm that he was working “day and night” to respond to the issue and was in close dialogue with governments that have condemned the protests.
