Abstract: During the Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) Council meeting on December 8-9, 2022, Austria opposed the accession of Romania and Bulgaria to the Schengen area, citing immigration-related reasons. In this context, taking into account the European Parliament's resolution on the political motivation but also the emergence of a new conflict in the Middle East (Gaza Strip) with the potential to increase the number of immigrants to Europe, we consider it necessary to study the potential for intensifying Austria's opposition to Romania's inclusion in the Schengen area. This paper aims to be a longitudinal study that will provide an x-ray of the social, economic, political and security environment in Austria in order to determine the Vienna Chancellery's appetite for strengthening the discourse against the Schengen enlargement and the foundations of this discourse. The period of the study was chosen between 2018-2023, as this period presents significant particularities from a global and European security and migration perspective, namely: the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the withdrawal of allied forces from Afghanistan (2021) and the Russian invasion of Ukraine (February 2022).
