Iceland Congress puts forward bill to grant Snowden citizenship barring fisheries legislation
The issue was raised this morning by MP Ögmundur Jónasson, which could be decided before the weekend.
Some are worried that this bill could be delayed by a piece of fisheries legislation which is also up for vote this Friday.
Although the bill is being backed by three parties, Brighter Future, Piran (Pirate Party) and the Green Party, there is still a possibility that the Snowden bill could be stopped by the current ruling coalition of the Conservative and Moderate parties.

According to Icelandic rules for prospective citizens, the applicant must be present in the country in order to lodge a successful application.
