Foreign relations between Austria and Georgia. Both countries established diplomatic relations in 1992 and Georgia opened its embassy in Vienna in 1996.[1] Austria is represented in Georgia through a non resident ambassador based in Vienna, and through an honorary consulate in Tbilisi. Georgia has an embassy in Vienna and an honorary consulate in Graz. Austria is a member of the European Union, which Georgia applied for in 2022. Both nations are members of the Council of Europe.
History
[edit | edit source]At the end of World War I, Austria-Hungary was, together with the other central powers, the German Empire and the Ottoman Empire, one of the first and only nations that recognized the independence of the short-lived Democratic Republic of Georgia in 1918.[2] The first ambassador was Georg von und zu Franckenstein.[3]
During the 2008 South Ossetia war, Austrian Foreign Minister Ursula Plassnik urged "Russia to respect the territorial integrity of Georgia, considering the UN resolution."[4] She also said that Russia's military intervention in Georgia had seriously undermined its credibility as a reliable partner of the West.[5]
