In an interview for the Italian newspaper Il Messaggero, Albanian President Ilir Meta said that Kosovo and Serbia should reach an agreement without changing the borders.

Asked whether he fears the region's destabilization due to tensions between Kosovo and Serbia lately, the Albanian president said that good relations between Belgrade and Pristina are needed for peace, not only in the region, but also wider.

"For peace, not only in our region, it is essential that Belgrade and Pristina consolidate their relations and go together on the path of European integration without touching the borders," Meta said, Serbian media reports, quoting the Italian daily.
