ROME - Italian FM Antonio Tajani said on Monday he had spoken with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Pristina's PM Albin Kurti, adding that Kfor presence at administrative crossings between Kosovo-Metohija and central Serbia would be boosted.

"Italy is a factor of peace in the Balkans. I have spoken with President Vucic and PM Kurti. I asked both of them to encourage dialogue between the two sides," Tajani wrote in a post on the social media network X, formerly known as Twitter.

He said an agreement to work on boosting Kfor presence "at the border between Serbia and Kosovo and preventing further conflicts" had been made with Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto.
