Brussels - Swedish Minister for Migration and Asylum Policy Tobias Billstrom Monday expressed surprise over a Swiss referendum banning minarets.

'I am a bit surprised and I think it is a bit strange that you decide these things in a referendum,' Billstrom said in Brussels where he was attending a meeting of justice and home affairs ministers.

Voters in Switzerland on Sunday cast ballots in favour of banning minarets.
