The request to participate came from the European Commission, according to the traffic administration. The administration considers participation natural given Sweden's long-standing EU membership and the importance of European cooperation for the Stockholm region. The celebration in Kungsträdgården will include activities focusing on democracy, cooperation, and the EU's role in daily life.
The program features election debates, interviews, music, children's activities, and a European square with embassies and authorities. The event aims to increase knowledge about the EU, its member states, and fundamental values such as democracy and community. The traffic administration's flagging is expected to boost visibility and awareness of the day among travelers and the public.
Specific details on election debates, participating embassies, the exact schedule, and the number of decorated vehicles have not been disclosed.
