Sweden is taking the Presidency of the Council of the EU for the next 6 months.
The Swedish Presidency has a few key priorities that they’re focusing on, including security, competitiveness, green and energy transitions, democratic values, and the rule of law.

What are their main priorities and what can we expect from them? Let’s take a closer look.
