Ok, thanks very much for your inputs.

However, it seems there will be an official investigation now. It isn't 100% clear and there where a few incidents recently in Vienna with conflicting traffic and resulting go arounds due to blocked safety strip.

And once again, of course you have to listen to ATC, but sometimes the radio frq is busy or ATC is talking/looking at something other. And of course ATC should also know what we are doing in the cockpit. On this special case ATC didn't know that we are stopping because it was an unclear situation.
We had our clearance to taxi to the gate without any number 1 nor something else. Another traffic was vacating the runway after landing on our right side and they where not on the ground frq because they where told to hold short and give way to us on the twaxiway by the tower controller. Therefer we didn't know what they are doing and ground ATC was busy on another aircraft. Therefore we both stopped and the result was the go around of the next arrival.
At first they were blaming us for stopping, but it was an unclear situation and after explaning they understood our point of view.

Therefore it should be 100% clear what to do in such situations for pilots and ATC.
