The third meeting of NATO bids of Finland and Sweden will be held on March 9, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said at a joint press conference with Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijjarto on Monday.
Bids to join NATO must be ratified by all members of the alliance, of which Türkiye is a member. But Ankara was outraged by protests in January that included the burning of the Koran outside its embassy in Stockholm.
Previous two rounds of the tri-party NATO talks were attended by foreign ministry officials and focused on a specific list of Turkish demands, which include the expulsion of dozens of mostly Kurdish "suspects".
Cavusoglu said the third planned meeting would be held in Brussels. "It's not possible for us to give consent (to a NATO bid) before Sweden fulfils its commitments" under a three-party protocol signed in Madrid in June, he said.
