The study analyses the hitherto little-known sequence of events in the history of Czechoslovak-Austrian relations. At the beginning of 1971, it seemed that replacement negotiations between Czechoslovakia and Austria could soon be successfully concluded. The atmosphere of détente and the related sincere considerations of convening a Pan-European conference on security helped to finalized one of the most controversial problems of bilateral relations. The promising development of principle influenced by the contradiction between Czechoslovakia and Austria, which began with a paper published by journalist Přemysl Janýr in Arbeiter-Zeitung on June 2, 1971. Czechoslovak officials considered gloss published in the leading press periodical of the ruling Socialist Party of Austria to be a blatant insult. She demanded an apology from the federal government and socialist representatives and distancing herself from the article. The responsible Austrian officials rejected both, citing freedom of the press. In response, Czechoslovak diplomacy bluntly renounced planned replacement negotiations, having previously repeatedly confirmed its participation in the talks. The journalistic controversy, which was gaining in intensity over time, came in handy. It was thus able to achieve a further postponement of replacement negotiations to accomplish the greatest possible reduction in Austrian demands on Czechoslovakia. The misunderstanding caused by the article in the Arbeiter-Zeitung was to overcome several months later.

In the mid-1970s, the relationship between Czechoslovakia and Austria determined decisively the context of the Cold War. Some easing of tensions in international politics enabled the signing of a property settlement agreement in December 1974. The signing of that document started the beginning of gradual improvement to the bilateral relationship. Evidence of improvement of mutual relations was provided on 23–26 April 1975 by the first official stay of the Austrian Foreign Minister in the history of Czechoslovakia. While Erich Bielka emphasized human rights issues, Czechoslovak officials wanted to talk mainly about deepening trade cooperation. Meanwhile, the hosts anxiously avoided controversial topics to give the impression of the beginning of a new phase of relations with Austria. However, Vienna evaluated the sudden turn of the Czechoslovak communists with certain distrust. Erich Bielka strictly observed the department's competencies and therefore refused to make any binding promises. To this, his subordinate was probably instructed by the Federal Chancellor Bruno Kreisky, who assessed the whole situation with cautious optimism. A long and often the winding process led to a further deepening of Czechoslovak-Austrian cooperation in the following years.
