Here is video of Swedish Space Corporation business development manager Mattias Abrahamsson speaking to Hyperbola about Spaceport Sweden's future at the 30 June 2009 Royal Aeronautical Society space tourism conference

As well as European Union funded projects that will start later this year such as FAST20XX the Swedish Space Corporation has calculated that Space Exploration Technologies' Falcon 1 could allow the Swedes to launch satellites from their most northern territory without dropping rocket stages onto their neighbours

They may not drop rocket stages onto their neighbours but they will drop rocket stages on their neighbors.

No, the SpaceX first stage lands on Swedish soil and the second stage goes into orbit so no it won't drop on to their neighbours.
