BELGRADE, Dec. 5 (Xinhuanet) -- The European Union has set six keyconditions for Serbia-Montenegro to fulfill in the process of stabilization and association agreement talks with the 25-nation bloc, a senior EU diplomat said here on Monday.

    According to the partnership document revised by the European Commission, the six key conditions include internal reforms, international obligations and unsettled issues concerning the Serbian breakaway province of Kosovo as well as relations between Serbia and Montenegro, said David Hudson, deputy head of the European Commission delegation to Serbia-Montenegro.

    Addressing a meeting of the Serbia-Montenegro parliament and the European Parliament, Hudson said that internally there are three conditions, such as the reform of public administration and judiciary, the implementation of structural economic reforms, and the parliamentary control of the army would have to be strengthened.

    As for international obligations, Serbia-Montenegro is requested to make further progress in cooperation with The Hague international tribunal.

    In the case of Kosovo, Serbia-Montenegro is requested to encourage local Serbs' participation in Kosovo organs and local authorities, and they are expected to have a serious and constructive approach to the talks on the province's future status.

    Hudson said that Serbia-Montenegro was also requested to observe the Constitutional Charter and make a constructive approach to the functioning of state union's authorities and if one of the republics organized a referendum, internationally recognized standards would have to be implemented.
