The young leader said the new government would have to work hard and strive for radical changes in the country.
"I will have talks with all the political parties, I have something to discuss in particular with the smaller parties, and I want to form a government that will bring about changes in Austria," Kurtz said.
Earlier, Austrian parliamentary elections held this Sunday were won by the ANP with 31.5% of the votes.
