Austria, elections set for September 29

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, JUN 28 - The Austrian government has announced that elections to renew the National Council (lower house of Parliament) will take place on September 29, confirming what Chancellor Karl Nehammer announced following the European elections. The relevant ordinance was unanimously approved by the Main Committee. A vote was not required for the National Council's early dissolution because the current five-year mandate will expire naturally. (ANSA).
