What is most important to you in life?

Peace.

Realistically, what do you expect from your future?

I discuss and talk with people, so that they can overcome their prejudices and fear.

I don't have much free time, but when I do, I love to take a cultural journey with my wife.


If you want to reward yourself by doing something special, what do you do?

I would love to travel with my whole family to Dubai.


Your country is said to be relaxed - what do you think about that? How does that affect your life?

I have a tough job, but through the mentality of the Austrian people I find inner calm.
