Federal Chancellor Christian Stocker (ÖVP) will undergo surgery at the end of October. Due to prolonged back problems, a corresponding "routine procedure" will be carried out during the autumn holiday week on the recommendation of doctors, the Chancellery announced on Wednesday. After the hospital stay, the Federal Chancellor will conduct his official duties from home for a certain period of time.

During his absence, Stocker, who will participate in the summit of EU heads of state and government in Brussels on Thursday, will be represented by Vice Chancellor Andreas Babler (SPÖ) or State Secretary Alexander Pröll (ÖVP) if necessary, it was stated. Stocker's press team will inform the media about further steps in due course.
