Police escorts for the team, bodyguards, even the hotel staff have been checked, but ÖFB head of security Heimo Kraus remains relaxed: "The EURO will be a great soccer festival!" To which Red-White-Red will make its contribution.  

"The situation is anything but relaxed," warn terror experts. Most recently, a suspected Islamist who wanted to be accredited as a stadium steward was arrested. The International Police Cooperation Center for the EURO opened in Neuss, Germany, and Germany is investing 40 million euros in the security concept.

Should Austria's fans be worried? How will the Rangnick squad be guarded? The "Krone" asked ÖFB head of security Heimo Kraus.
