History

[edit]

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]
