In Brussels, there has been a lot of shaking of heads over Austria since Thursday. Not about the government pointing out the problem of illegal border crossings, not about the fact that the ÖVP is criticizing the way refugees are waved through Europe, and certainly not about the fact that Interior Minister Gerhard Karner believes that the European asylum system is not working. Shaking his head over the veto blocking Bulgaria’s and Romania’s accession to Schengen. Vienna is isolated.
Austria is accused of acting from domestic political motives. And to measure with double standards. Because where Karner rejects the Schengen accession of Romania and Bulgaria, Croatia will be part of it from next year. The Austrian government has nothing against including one of the most popular holiday destinations for Austrians in the area without passport control. After all, this also eliminates the constant traffic jams at the border on the way to holiday.
