Summary/Abstract: The conventional sources of the concept of political conditionality are the constitutional traditions of the member states or te international reference instruments in the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms created in the framework of vaious international organisations. The relations with the countries in transition from Central and Eastern Europe have been a source but also a continuous appliction of the principle of conditionality. It is for the purpose of welcoming the new democracies from the East that the EC began to establish a mechanism that binds togther democratic reform and the deepening of cooperation. As a consequence, this principle gained the whole of EU foreign relations. The construction of the concept of political conditionality owes a lot to doctrine as well as to the contribution of various lw or political science experts.
