US President Donald Trump's special envoy for the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, Richard Grenell, denied on Twitter the existence of a US plan of a "quick deal" to resolve the Kosovo issue.
Grenell wrote the EUobserver's claims that the United States was promoting the idea of a "quick deal" to solve the Kosovo issue was fake news.

"I am for what the parties agree to - I'm focused on economic development, not politics," the US president's special envoy wrote in response to an EUobserver report.
In the article, EUbserver said that the US remains "open to a land swap between Kosovo and Serbia" although Germany opposes the idea.
The portal also cites US Special Envoy for the Western Balkans Matthew Palmer, who said it was "on the parties to determine the parameters of the dialogue."
He told this to the Brussels-based website when asked about the border correction plan.
The US supports the two sides in finding a way to return to the negotiating table, to discuss all issues and to find a way to move towards normalizing relations, Palmer said, adding that mutual recognition would be ideal.
