ÖRF did not respond when dpa tried to contact it for comment.
TASS’s Vienna correspondent accreditation was withdrawn on April 30 and he was ordered to leave Austrian territory by June 7, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry. No explanation was given for this decision, which is discriminatory against the state-run Russian news agency, he added.
