GREEK DIPLOMAT: SERBIAN-MONTENEGRIN RELATIONS MUST BE REGULATED

BELGRADE, Jan (Hina) - The regulation of relations between Serbia and Montenegro remains a condition for the two countries to start the process of stabilisation and association with the European Union, Greek Foreign Minister Georgious Panandreou said in Belgrade on Tuesday after talks with Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic. #L# Papandreou said that during the six months of Greece's presidency of the EU, the southeast part of Europe will be a priority and that representatives of all five countries he would visit during his Southeast European tour (Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Yugoslavia, Macedonia and Albania) would be invited to attend the EU Summit in Salonika in June. The Greek official said the European Union was aware that Serbia and Montenegro were making steps towards a Stabilisation and Association Agreement. He said it was important to implement EU standards regarding the respect for human rights and the rights of minorities, as well as regional cooperation. After talks with Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic, Papandreou said it was necessary to take all measures to adopt the Serbia-Montenegro constitutional charter and supporting laws. The Greek diplomat will also meet his Yugoslav counterpart Goran Svilanovic and head of state Vojislav Kostunica. (hina) it
