Description
The Austrian development cooperation policy reflects Austria's environmental security priorities. The most relevant priorities include: water and sanitation; rural development, energy, and conflict prevention and resolution and good governance and the development of democratic structures.
Austria's broader security priorities are reflected in its strong strategic interest in the stability of South Eastern Europe and more specifically, the Western Balkans where Austria is engaged in wide-ranging contribution to security and stability. Supporting the Western Balkans is in now one of the central tasks of Austrian foreign policy, especially to support them as a partner on their road towards joining the EU.
