> Swiss voters are taking part in a referendum on whether the country should apply its longstanding neutrality policy more strictly. The initiative, backed by the right-wing Pro Schweiz association, says the government has moved too close to the EU and NATO since Russia's war in Ukraine. Most major parties oppose it, and polling suggests it is unlikely to pass.
