The Taoiseach begins the third leg of his pre-European Council Tour of capitals this morning.
Today Mr Ahern will meet Prime Minister Wolfgang Schuessel in Austria, and then travel on to Slovakia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovenia over the next two days for meetings with his counterparts before travelling on to Moscow to attend the EU-Russia Summit on Friday.
The Taoiseach's discussions will focus on the progress being made towards agreement on a new Constitutional Treaty for the EU and on the issue of who will be the next President of the European Commission.
