Key legal question
Whether the children's removal to Switzerland was wrongful under the Hague Convention and whether the Austrian divorce judgment could be recognized.
Extracted holding
The removal was wrongful because the mother had joint custody; the Macedonian divorce judgment could not be recognized and did not change that result.
Extracted reasoning
The children were removed while the parents were still married and the mother's custody rights were still in force. The foreign divorce judgment was unknown to her and had already been refused recognition by the Bezirksgericht.
