> A projection indicates that about 71 percent of Swiss voters opposed an initiative seeking to impose stricter constitutional limits on the country’s neutrality. The proposal would have defined neutrality as “perpetual and armed” and restricted defence cooperation and some sanctions, while rejection preserves the government’s room to cooperate with NATO and impose sanctions.
