Austria can block expansion of negotiations on Turkey's accession to the EU, which could halt a landmark migration deal between Brussels and Ankara, Reuters reported.

Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz stated that he is against opening of the new chapter in negotiation process with Turkey concerning its membership in the EU.

“I have a seat and a vote in the (EU) foreign ministers' council. There the question is whether new negotiation chapters will be opened with Turkey, and I am against it,” Kurz said.

According to him, Turkey hasn't made progress and hasn't satisfied necessary conditions.

“The criteria for visa liberalisation will not be fulfilled by Turkey. And the requirements for accession talks have not been met,” he noted.
