🇦🇹‘s longstanding commitment to children’s rights is central to our foreign policy & 🇺🇳 engagement, particularly on Children & Armed Conflict. Excited to announce the launch of our new book on children’s rights to bring our engagement closer to young readers 📚@UNICEFat#asagan
Arrived in #Sarajevo, where I will be exchanging views with representatives from Bosnia and Herzegovina today and tomorrow. The clear message is: The future of Bosnia and Herzegovina lies in the EU! 🇧🇦 🤝 🇪🇺 🇦🇹
Vielen Dank für das offene Gespräch mit meinem ungarischen Amtskollegen Pèter Szijjártó. Gerade auch im Lichte der beunruhigenden steigenden Gewaltbereitschaft gegenüber Schwulen und Lesben habe ich ihm meine Sorge über die aktuelle Gesetzgebung in Ungarn hinsichtlich der Freiheit der LGBTIQ+ Community mitgeteilt. Grund- & Menschenrechte sind das Fundament unserer Europäischen Union und sind die Grundlage für die individuelle Freiheit eines jeden Menschens.
Austria is and will remain a staunch supporter of #Montenegro‘s path to the #EU. Full support for your ambitious reform plans, dear Prime Minister @MickeySpajic!
There is hardly a better way to start your day than working on the future of the #WesternBalkans with European leaders at #WEF25. Underlined the importance of advancing the gradual integration of the region into the 🇪🇺. If we don’t export stability, we risk importing instability.
Delighted to welcome FM @TimcoMucunski on his first visit to #Vienna! We fully support #NorthMacedonia on its path to the #EU.
Let’s work together for progress in 🇲🇰‘s and the Western Balkans’ accession process in 2024. The 🇪🇺 is incomplete without the #WesternBalkans.
Brought together the #FriendsoftheWesternBalkans and our Western Balkans colleagues at #EFW2024.
12 Foreign Ministers discussed how to finally make #WB6 🇪🇺 enlargement happen and how to bring tangible benefits to the region on the way to full membership.

Glad to meet with Foreign Ministers from the Western Balkans, the “Friends of the Western Balkans” group, and the “Danube Region Strategy”.
We discussed how to build a more united Europe together.
Thank you @a_schallenberg for gathering us in Austria these days.
Happy that #EUCO stepped up to the plate tonight! 🇧🇦➡️🇪🇺
Heartfelt congratulations to our friends in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the opening of EU accession negotiations! This is a well-deserved reward for your reform drive & courage.
We will continue to support you on this path!
Strong signal for #EU integration of the Western Balkans! Highly welcome @EU_Commission’s recommendation to open accession negotiations with Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦
Now it is time for EU leaders to acknowledge the bolstered reform progress and support BiH on its path to 🇪🇺
Hvala na srdačnom dočeku u Sarajevu @DinoKonakovic!
It‘s crunchtime! BiH has to be part of the #EU and we want the #EuCo to finally give green light for opening accession talks. But there is still work to be done - reforms cannot be imposed from the outside.
An intense day in #Skopje with meetings across the whole political spectrum is about to end. It‘s crunch time when it comes to the constitutional amendments.
#Slavkov will remain fully committed to North Macedonia, a country that made enormous efforts to be on the European path.
EU-Mission to North Macedonia as #Slavkov. 🇪🇺-🇲🇰
Travelling to #Skopje on behalf of @JosepBorrellF with a strong yet simple message: We want you to proceed with the necessary constitutional amendments to finally start with the accession negotiations. There is no time to lose!
