IIRC the issue is that NATO doesn't necessarily want Austria since their institutions are heavily infiltrated by Russian spies?
Infiltrated by Russian spies suggests, that this is not part of the countries policy. But every information that gets to Austrian intelligence ends up in Russia and Austrian intelligence helps European high profile criminals escape to Russia.
The truth is that Austria's intelligence community is split. Various factions within the intelligence agencies and authorities proxy-fighting with each other resulted in a raid on the intelligence service, anonymous accusations and the becoming public of various scandals. But it's obvious that not the whole intelligence apparatus is in the Russians' pockets.
