It's not like he listens, but Kurt appreciates the German emissary's appointment of the Western Balkans.

Kurt said he's looking forward to working with him.

This appointment of the German minister for the Western Balkans is taking place under circumstances when Europe is facing an extraordinary crisis after the start of the war in Ukraine.

Good news from Berlin: Following Bundestag's historic decision last Sunday, Manuel Sarrazin is officially Germany's special envoy for the Western Balkans. I've always had meaningful discussions on some of our past meetings. I can't wait to work closely with him, he wrote Kurti on Twitter.

We remember that Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has been expecting earlier Western envoys for this region, but he has systematically rejected their recommendations regarding specific processes in Kosovo and the region. / P ERISCOPIA
