Ischinger, along with U.S. and Russian officials, is trying to negotiate a settlement for Kosovo.
EU policy on Kosovo has previously ruled out partition as a potential spark for regional conflict.
Any partition would be likely to leave the Serbian-dominated north as part of Serbia.
Kosovo's ethnic-Albanian leaders are demanding full independence from Serbia. Belgrade rejects this and is offering broad autonomy.
