Private account of 🇦🇹 diplomat. Love music, poetry, puns and good debate. Views my own. Repost not necessarily endorsement.
Happy to join colleagues of @ambasadaaustrii.bsky.social including Trade and Defense branches for a meeting with the 🇵🇱-🇦🇹 Parliamentary Bilateral Friendship Group at the @kancelariasejmu.bsky.social in Warsaw earlier today. A rich exchange on many issues with lots of follow-up potential.

On Tuesday, the #Conrad #Festival invited @danielwisser.bsky.social for a talk on his book about an MS patient, a piece of #radicalhope, indeed. Curious? So it made me. Will get to read „Die Königin der Berge“ as soon as possible.
