Russian indiscriminate and intentional attacks on Odesa’s city centre, a UNESCO world heritage site, is pure terror against civilians and constitutes an international war crime.
Our thoughts are with the people of Odesa and #StandWithUkraine️

Today, as we mark 28 years since the genocide of #Srebrenica, we remember the thousands of innocent victims.
As a reliable partner, Austria remains strongly committed to supporting the establishment of an open, tolerant & peaceful society in Bosnia and Herzegovina!

500 days ago, Russia started its brutal war of aggression against #Ukraine.
500 days of senseless fighting. 500 days of death, despair and destruction.
Our solidarity is and remains firmly with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. As long as it takes.

In the next thread I´ll give you the full political history of this pretty complex situation in medieval Europe and how it ended up in Habsburg hands. Better than Game of Thrones (1/601)

The Western Balkans are Europe’s litmus test. While we rightly look to the East, we must not forget the Southeast. We cannot afford to lose another 20 years. That’s why we presented a joint push for faster, gradual integration as the #FriendsOfTheWesternBalkans at #EFW23 today.

#OTD in 1867, Emperor Maximilian of Mexico was executed ending the Second Empire. His wife, Belgian-born wife Charlotte, broke completely down and would spend the rest of her life in a state of mental instability.
