130. We have much in common with Switzerland and, especially in recent years, the policy of neutrality. These two neutral Republics, stretching from the lowlands of Pannonia to the mountains of the Jura, certainly have exercised a stabilizing influence in this part of Europe. All outstanding questions between ourselves and the Federal Republic of Germany have been settled to our mutual satisfaction, and we enjoy the good neighbourly relations of two States which respect each other. Solutions have been found for practically all our differences with Yugoslavia and we have achieved a noteworthy measure of economic and cultural cooperation. The same is true of our relations with Poland, although it is not our immediate neighbour. There has been a similar positive development in the relations between Austria on the one hand, and Romania and Bulgaria on the other. We hope that it will soon be possible also to settle the open questions with Hungary and Czechoslovakia, which would pave the way for a similar development.
