Nobel Prize organisers invite Russia, Belarus; draws flak from Sweden PM Kristersson | Oneindia News

The Nobel Foundation has reportedly invited a Russian Ambassador to attend its banquet.

On Friday, Sweden's prime minister said that he disagreed with the Nobel Foundation inviting the Russian ambassador to this year's Nobel banquet, adding to growing criticism of the decision.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson issued a written statement.

It said and I quote, “The Nobel Foundation of course decides who they want to invite.

But like many others, I was greatly surprised that Russia was being invited.

I would not have done it if I were handling invites to an award ceremony and I understand that it upsets many people in both Sweden and Ukraine." said Ulf Kristersson.
