If he’s travelling on commercial aviation they’d be breaking a whole bunch of regulation by letting someone on without a passport. Sweden isn’t a banana republic, and I doubt there would be any expectation from the minister and his posse that they’d be breaking the rules.
If he’s travelling privately or by military plane, there’s probably more liberty to just ring and ask what the reception arrangements will be.
Edit: Ah, actually RTFA now. Still sounds true to me.
If you fly (commercially) from Sweden to Poland you don’t need a passport, only an ID-card. I’d imagine that’s one of the reasons it wasn’t caught earlier.
I was looking at it more from a “there was another reason not to go, passports sounds reasonable enough” perspective, combined with general disbelief his aides would have let it happen.
