In an interview for ABC, Sarrazin asked for more political will and for the parties to take concrete action, since, according to him, it is not the European Union's duty to be arbitrator.
He also spoke of reports by Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, with international allies, which he said is not in the interest of the Kosovo side to lose opportunities towards the EU.
According to him, this could lead more in a course of self - reliance and loss of opportunities to move toward the European Union.
On the other hand, Sarrazin demanded that Serbia go on the road towards the EU and official Belgrade impose sanctions on Russia.
“The path in which Mr. Kurti's government is moving in dialogue, in the long term plan, I am afraid that this may not be good in Kosovo's interest, in approaching the European Union. I fear that this could lead more in a course of self-reliance and loss of opportunities to move toward the European Union”, German diplomat said.
Sarrazin also spoke of Samites held in Tirana, where he urged that the past not be used to boost nationalist feelings, but Western Balkan countries work together to move towards the EU.
“I think we should not underestimate this general idea of the summit, which was organised to show that Moldova, Ukraine and the countries of the Western Balkans are together and together can achieve much and should see each other positively, understand and know that every step that takes one of these countries will also help others. That's very positive. And also, what I felt like the atmosphere among leaders was very important. And then Tirana could give an opportunity for a bilateral meeting of Mr. Zelensky and Mr. Vucic, who obviously has some goals, which you know, perhaps even useful to the Serbian side, but anyway, it's a good phase, of course”, The German emissary is expressed.
