After the tragic events of Saturday afternoon, where three people died and many were seriously injured in the city centre of Graz, we would like to express our deepest sympathy to the victims and family members of all those who were caught up in a senseless act of violence.  

The series of attacks which started close to the ECML’s premises took place at one of  the busiest times of the week  and has shocked the population of a city known for its peaceful and welcoming character. 

A book of condolences has been opened by the Graz  city authorities.
