Similar anxieties have surfaced in Norway, where investigative reports have shown Russians connected to the Kremlin acquiring cabins near crucial military sites.
The Norwegian government has now signalled that it is developing a pre-approval mechanism for property purchases, akin to Finland’s approach.
Emilie Enger Mehl, Norway’s Minister of Justice and Public Security, commented that it was high time to take action.
“It has been an important issue for the government ever since we took office in the autumn of 2021 to strengthen the regulations, put national security higher, and ensure that we have the opportunity to, for example, stop property sales if necessary.”
