Hungary’s ruling party plans to approve Finland’s accession to NATO in a vote later this month, it said in a statement Friday.
The parliamentary vote will take place March 27, and the group will vote unanimously in support of Finland's bid, the leader of the ruling Fidesz Party, Máté Kocsis, said in a statement.
Kocsis said the group would decide later on Sweden’s case for joining the military alliance.
Turkey, which announced earlier Friday that it would approve Finland's membership, and Hungary have been the holdouts blocking both Nordic nations' accession.
Western officials had generally considered getting Turkey's blessing the most significant hurdle to NATO expansion.
More background: Finland announced its intention to join NATO in May, along with Sweden, after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine caused a sudden shift in attitudes toward joining the bloc.
That announcement was welcomed by almost all of NATO’s leaders, but under NATO rules just one member state can veto a new applicant’s membership.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan put a spoke in the wheel when he said he was not looking at both countries joining NATO “positively,” accusing them of housing Kurdish “terrorist organizations."
Friday’s announcement clears the way for Finland’s accession, but Sweden’s application has been stalled by Ankara’s accusations, which Sweden denies.
