I from Austria and studying buisness law at Wu Vienna (Vienna University of Economics and buisness administration); i will receive my bachelor of laws after a minimum of three years in the end; nonetheless i wont be able to practise as a lawyer with that degree, i have to do my LL.M first in order to be able to do so; In german speaking areas it is called "Wirtschaftsrecht" and additionally it is still very new;

What I want to know: How about the acceptance by other universities through whole europe? Do i have any chance at all to take part in Master programmes e.g. UK,Netherlands,Belgium etc? do they recognize my bachelor of laws?
Furthermore I want to specialize in european (buisness) laws; any possibilities?

As I understand it, you are asking if a three year business law degree will, in principle, suffice to gain you admission to an LLM programme in the UK. First point to note is that each university will have its own rules on what is, and is not, sufficient. Having said that, I can't see any particular difficulty with the degree you mention; what will be significant is your final grade and your level of English language.

But be aware that I still wont be a lawyer at that time, does it matter?

You will need to check with each univeristy but my understanding is no university in the UK requires as entry to its LLM qualification as a practising lawyer.
