(ANSA) - LUXEMBOURG, OCTOBER 14 - "Ironically, we are discussing sanctions and measures such as the arms embargo against a country that is formally engaged in the accession dialogue with the EU. As Austrians, we think that these accession negotiations, which we have frozen in the last two or three years, thanks to our government, should be now formally canceled". That is what Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg said arriving at the EU Council in Luxembourg (ANSA).
