Austrian authorities have planned eight hour "value and orientation" training courses which aim to teach refugees Austrian laws and social norms.
These courses will be part of a wider integration program and will be held in Arabic, Farsi, Dari and English, reports RT.
Kurz's statement was reiterated by Markus Wallner, the head of the Voralberg region in Austria: "There can eventually be no avoidance behavior. Specifically, if someone avoids attending the values training course, [his] social benefits should be reduced."
