Szijjarto: Austria successfully worked with eastern neighbours on coronavirus protection

Austria and its eastern neighbours held several consultations during the novel coronavirus epidemic, and these successful talks helped the countries to institute effective protective measures, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Tuesday after meeting his Austrian, Czech, Slovak and Slovene counterparts. At a joint press conference of the Vienna Five informal grouping, Szijjarto said central European countries had successfully worked together to introduce protective measures against the virus, and they have decided to maintain their cooperation amid upsurges in several neighbouring countries.
