Relations

Austria, being a member state of the European Union, supports Macedonia's efforts to join the organization.[1] It also supported Macedonia during the country's visa liberalization process and the European Commission's positive decision in 2009 concerning the start of accession negotiations between the EU and Macedonia.[1]

Austria is one of 131[4] countries recognizing Macedonia by its constitutional name.[1][5][6][7]
