The announcement, published in Sunday's edition of Kurier newspaper and Saturday night's electronic edition of the Kleine Zeitung newspaper, cited by the Austria Press Agency (APA), reads that according to reports received from government circles, the borders could be lifted, at least for air traffic.

On Monday Austria’s Interior Minister Gerhard Karner will travel to Slovenia to discuss at a meeting with representatives of Bulgaria and Romania the conditions that must be met for Austria to agree to the so-called "Air Schengen".
