The US President’s special envoy for Kosovo Richard Grenell told the Nova.rs portal that the June 27 meeting between officials from Belgrade and Pristina could result in economic development.

“The meeting at the White House is an opportunity and opens the door to economic development and investments,” the portal quoted the ambassador as saying.  

Grenell said that Washington hopes that the political leaders in Serbia and Kosovo will use the opportunity to resume the dialogue and initiate a new era of stability and prosperity. “The people of the region deserve no less than that,” he said.

The ambassador announced the meeting at the White House recently on his Twitter account but did not disclose any other details of the meeting or what would be discussed. The announcement came while European Union envoy for the Kosovo dialogue Miroslav Lajcak was in Pristina to meet with Kosovo officials.
