Hej Bjorn Edlund. Swedish-born, your office is based in The Hague, your private residence is in Switzerland and you are married to a Swiss. Taking into consideration all the business trips required for a job like yours and which take you to destinations all over the planet – you do not often speak Swedish any more, do you?
No, I don’t. Only in our long summer holidays and when I go back to Sweden for the elk hunt in October. I left Sweden in 1972, which is a long time ago. I miss it sometimes. I miss not being with my brother and my sisters and their families, not seeing my cousins, not seeing their children grow up. But I have become pretty good at feeling at home, or at least at ease, in most places.
