ROME (Reuters) - Prime Minister Mario Monti urged the next Italian government on Thursday to continue his economic reform agenda and said coming elections would lead to a pro-European administration.

Monti, speaking in Brussels, refused to comment on former premier Silvio Berlusconi's offer to withdraw his own candidacy in the election if the former European commissioner agreed to head a centre-right coalition.
