Well, there’s been long standing speculation of direct German and Austrian involvement in the Balkan wars. Specifically, the Slovenes and the Croats were armed by Austrian and German equipment, even during the so-called arms embargo which seemed to apply only the Serbs and Muslims.

However, what specific interests Germans would have in Kosovo, now, after the whole mess... I’d be at a loss as to what their purpose/interest would be. Seems to me they’d have a vested interest in the whole place (Balkans) being as quiet and as calm as can possibly be, as they have other issues to deal with (economic crisis, resurgent Russia...)

Who knows. One thing I will say is that the Balkans is a conspiracy theory central. Everything that can be imagined about anything in the world generally is imagined down there.
