Austrian foreign minister: Women are being paid to cover in Pristina, Sarajevo

Austria's Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz has called for speeding up the process of bringing the Western Balkans to the EU. This is because he sees the influence of Turkey and Saudi Arabia on the rise in this region. He has said that in Pristina and Sarajevo, women are paid to be covered.

Austrian Foreign Minister has said that in Sarajevo and Pristina “women are paid to cover up, to take the road to change, but we will not stand by “, the minister for “Hendelsblat” has said, broadcasting the newspaper Express.

While the European Union is facing challenges such as the United Kingdom referendum to get out of the European Union, the refugee crisis or Islamic terrorism, the minister has said it should not be forgotten even Western Balkan countries.

The paper writes that this region, with new states where tensions are increasing recently among different ethnic groups, quoted the minister as saying they should play an active wheel in this region and support reforms and the fight against radicalism.

“We must therefore continue to play an active wheel in this important region for the EU to support reforms and the fight against radicalism and a reliable perspective the European Union offers”, the Austrian foreign minister has said briefly.
