A significant financial dispute has erupted in Norway over a multi-billion kroner cost overrun, with Avinor, Forsvarsbygg, the state, and airline companies currently at odds over who will bear the expenses. Forsvarsbygg is reportedly rejecting documentation, while the state insists the defense sector will pay its share.
In other domestic news, a report indicates that half of Norway's municipalities are unprepared to provide adequate emergency shelters within a three-day period, raising concerns about public safety. Additionally, calls for answers have been made regarding the Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) due to a situation described as "very worrying."
