Sarrazine: It is up to Kosovo, Serbia to decide for or against the Franco-German plan

Sarrazin, in Kanal10, has stated that if these two countries opposed this plan, they would not be punished by France and Germany, as this is not how international politics works.

I can't predict the future. France and Germany would not do anything wrong, this is not how international politics works, we are trying to facilitate the solutions. In the end, solutions must be agreed, your countries. If Germany and France found a way to have a common strategic perspective... it's your responsibility. We're trying to be useful, we're trying to ease, we're trying to push. We're trying to get things started. But in the end, it depends on the decision of people in Serbia and Kosovo, of course.”, he has declared.

He has declared that Germany is for Kosovo to membership in the Council of Europe.

We're pro. We recognise Kosovo's independence. The Council of Europe is an important institution, the basic human rights institution. The Council of Europe in history has brought many rights to fundamental freedoms, must be part of the European family. Except for those who themselves have put themselves outside the European family, like Russia at the moment. Of course we want them to be there.”, he declared.
