BRUSSELS, May 11 (Reuters) - The European Union welcomed a "clear victory" for pro-European forces in Serbia's parliamentary election on Sunday and said it hoped it would result in the quick formation of a government with a "clear European agenda".

A statement from the Slovenian EU presidency said, that provided Serbia met EU conditions, "this should enable Serbia to advance further on its EU path, including the candidate status".

Serbia's pro-European Union president, Boris Tadic, defeated his main nationalist rival in the election but was short of the number of seats needed to form a governing majority. (Reporting by David Brunnstrom)
