MOSCOW, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Moscow and Washington are still in deep disagreement over the future of Serbia's Kosovo province, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday.

Speaking to Russian news agencies after a visit to the United States, Lavrov said Kosovo was the key point of disagreement between the two countries.

"We still have no common vision of how this problem should be solved," Lavrov told Interfax news agency. "Kosovo is a subject where our disagreement is deepest, unlike our positions on Iran, Iraq and the Middle East."

On Friday, U.N. envoy Martti Ahtisaari unveiled a plan to set Kosovo on a path to independence, an outcome that the province's majority Albanians quickly applauded but Belgrade rejected.
