I have decided to convene a special European Council on 6 March.

We are living a defining moment for Ukraine and European security.

In my consultations with European leaders, I’ve heard a shared commitment to meet those challenges at EU level:

Good to meet Chancellor Schallenberg in Brussels today, on his first trip abroad.

#Austria has been a very engaged EU member state and I’m looking forward to continue working together.

Ausgezeichnetes Telefonat mit Alexander Schallenberg.

Ich habe ihm zur Ernennung als geschäftsführender Bundeskanzler Österreichs gratuliert.

Außerdem haben wir über die aktuellen Themen und Fragen gesprochen, an denen Europa und Österreich gemeinsam arbeiten müssen.
