Vienna and Amman believe it is too early to expect a speedy political transition in war-torn Syria, Austrian President Heinz Fischer said Wednesday after meeting King Abdullah II according to AFP.

"I believe that neither I nor the king of Jordan would dare to entertain the hope that it would be a matter of just a few weeks," Fischer told APA news agency after US Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday that Syria could be weeks away from a "big transition."

"We are on the right track, but it would be premature to make a statement about the time needed to solve the problems," he added.
