>Austria’s government, led by Chancellor Karl Nehammer, is holding an emergency meeting on Schengen at noon on Tuesday, and Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg will give a briefing on the political effects of his country’s veto, Austrian Die Presse reports.
Foreign Minister Schallenberg attended the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels on Monday to discuss current issues in the European Union. During the meeting, the Austrian official requested a bilateral meeting with the Romanian foreign minister, to whom he presented the European Commission’s expectations regarding the curbing of illegal migration, according to a press release from the Foreign Ministry.
The meeting of the Austrian government takes place two days before the European Council summit scheduled for 15 December in Brussels. President Klaus Iohannis announced on Monday that he would raise the issue of the Austrian veto at the European Council meeting.
The European Council could force a return to the table on Romania and Bulgaria’s Schengen membership, but unanimity is needed. If Austria retains its veto, the European Council cannot adopt any conclusions on the subject.

I guess, as Nehammer said, the boycott is only affecting us, huh?
*[Astronomia starts playing]*
I really hope those morons change their mind on the vote. I am so sick and tired of the ÖVP
So, let’s postulate that Austria drops the veto.
Now what? Bulgaria still can’t join. Can Romania join alone?
Calling it now ” we did the right thing “
Is there any other news article about this? I’m unable to find anything about this in Austrian news.
Haha Austria has a fireman PM too. No wonder he and Boyko Borisov are in bed with Manfed Weber
