GENEVA (Sputnik) — The Office of the UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura on Thursday denied media reports of his resignation.
"Media reports that Special Envoy de Mistura is resigning his post are not accurate. The Special Envoy remains fully engaged on his mission," the office said.
Earlier, the Al Mayadeen television channel reported that the UN secretary-general-designate, Antonio Guterres allegedly wanted to dismiss de Mistura from his post at the end of his mandate in late March.
