Austrian government split on EU foreign policy veto
By EUobserver
Austria's foreign minister Karin Kneissl has opposed a proposal from chancellor Sebastian Kurz to abolish the right of veto of every EU member state on foreign policy. Speaking in relation to the EU summit in Sibiu, Kneissl said that majority voting would lead to overlooking smaller European countries' interests and a "directorate" of the big countries, die Presse reported.
