The Austrian diplomatic chief has said he hopes all agreements reached in dialogue, including Association, will be implemented. He stressed that he knows this is an emotional and difficult process, but has cited Asutrine as a positive example.
This is a country that began to exist in 1918, when, for example, a French minister, said Éustriria is what remains. It is a place that has had the greatest changes, and today we are one of the richest countries where people are proud of all that has been achieved. Look at South Tyrol. There are positive examples, and Austria is one of them”, the head of Austria's diplomacy said.
There are still many meetings and talks before us. The agreement that was reached is an important signal. I hope Serbia and President Aleksandar Vuciq have accepted the agreement. It wasn't an easy step, but it's important”, Schallenberg added.
He has said normalising relations between Kosovo and Serbia is important for the region.
