Suddenly, they're Swedish?  Det är konstigt, de låter inte svenska.

The Jitsi project's public Jitsi Meet server is meet.jit.si.
That country-code domain is for Slovenia, but of course many 
non-Slovenian sites use that top-level domain for clever naming
effects[1], which is obviously why they're doing so here.  
You cannot normally assume a .si domain is Slovenian for the same reason
you can't assume a .tv domain is in Tuvalu.

There's not even such a top-level domain at all, at this point.
If you want to create one, the best way would be via invasion and 
creating, say, the Republic of Zeland, then get the .ze country-code
top-level domain assigned to the Republic of Zeland by the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO)'s 3166 Maintenance
Agency, via the ISO 3166-1 standard process.  You'll need your shiny new
country to either (a) by a UN member state, (b) a member of one of its
specialised agencies, and/or a party to the Statute of the International
Court of Justice.  Finally, ask IANA for rights over .ze.
