With Austria seeking a "privileged partnership" instead of full membership, and Turkey objecting to provisions related to Cyprus, it was unclear whether Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul would ever board his planned flight to Luxembourg.
Pošto je Austrija tražila da se Ankari ponudi “privilegovano partnerstvo” umesto punopravnog članstva, a Turska se protivila odredbama u vezi sa Kiprom, bilo je nejasno da li će premijer Abdulah Gul uopšte poleteti za Luksemburg.
