Austrian specialties and the country's presidential election on 4th December

By  Fashionoffice 's publisher Karin Sawetz Since the last two weeks not only winter markets with mainly regional specialties have popped up all around the country; Austrian specialties are a theme after the people had become more and more concerned about the influences of other countries' politics on them and how Austrian politicians will represent national interests in today's world which has been shaken up (latest events: Brexit, Trump).
