MILAN (Reuters) - Italy's coalition government won't fall after this week's vote for the European parliament but will have "to do a number of things" which are priorities for the right-wing League party, its leader, Matteo Salvini, was quoted as saying.

Asked if the League could topple the government if it got more than 30 percent of votes, Salvini said in an interview with Friday's La Stampa daily that he wanted "to change the European Union's agricultural policy not the government".
