The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, said tonight that Serbia did not sign a direct agreement with Kosovo in Washington, but that it exchanged letters with the USA, but with the knowledge of the contents of the document signed by the representatives of Kosovo.

"We essentially exchanged letters with the USA, but not to be unfair, we know very well the content of what the Albanians signed, we discussed it with them in front of the American side," Vučić said regarding doubts about who who signed an agreement yesterday in the White House on the normalization of economic relations between Belgrade and Pristina.

Vučić told TV Pink that he has two documents with him, one of which was signed by US President Donald Trump, and the other by him.

"These are the originals of the agreement, they are not copies, we are taking this to Belgrade," added Vučić.

Vučić said yesterday that Serbia signed a bilateral agreement with the US on the normalization of economic relations with Kosovo, not a trilateral one.

"We signed a bilateral agreement with the USA, this is not a trilateral agreement. The third party is not recognized as a subject of international law, which was very important for us," Vučić told reporters.

However, the US President's special envoy for negotiations between Kosovo and Serbia, Richard Grenell, then stated that the US is not a party to the agreement between Serbia and Kosovo on the normalization of economic relations.

Last night, Grenel did not specify whether Vučić and Kosovo Prime Minister Avdulah Hoti had signed a mutual agreement.

"They signed an agreement to work together, they did not sign with the US. We are not a signatory," Grenell said at a press conference in Washington.

When the journalist stated that he signed something with the leaders of Serbia and Kosovo and US President Donald Trump at the ceremony in the White House, Grenell said that he did it "as a witness to say 'This is a great agreement and the US is happy about it'".

"Trump signed, as I would describe it, basically a letter confirming that they will work together and implement the agreement," Grenell said.

Vučić and Hoti signed two versions of the document called "Economic Normalization" yesterday in the White House in the presence of Trump, which differ only in the last point.
