    Default Re: FYI

    Fuerst von Metternich gives an interview for an Austrian newspaper in one of the last days of the Conference in Munich. He calmly explains his high hopes that the plan for salvation of France and the agreement with Prussia is to be a solid ground for peace and stability. When asked about the Greek issue and his position, he says the situation within the Ottoman Empire is too unclear to comment right now and that the future of the province will be decided by the Concert at a later moment. Fuerst von Metternich also hopes the Ottoman Sultan will be able to cope with the complexed situation within his realm. He also says that he has put a lot of efforts to keep the balance within Europe after the defeat of Napoleon and will continue to do so. It is also immature, if the rumours are indeed true, for a serious politician to play with dangerous ideas like nationalism and republicanism for his own pleasure, Metternich says. As a Chancellor of Austria he promises that Austria will continue to be a stronghold of the enlightened absolutism, an island of stability and that the Danube monarchy will monitor the situation all around Europe carefully.
