STORYLINE:
Italy's Prime Minister Mario Draghi told journalists Wednesday that Italy backs the bid by Finland and Sweden to join NATO.
Draghi met the press along with Finland's visiting Prime Minister Sanna Marin at Palazzo Chigi, the seat of Italy's government.
He said that Italy was willing to speed up the two applicant countries' accession procedures.
Draghi said that the application for membership in the military alliance was sparked by security worries in the wake of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
