"After receiving an invitation from NATO a new phase began - accession negotiations, which are just now successfully underway. It is expected that they will be completed in a month and a half, then the procedure of ratification of the membership of Montenegro in the parliaments of member countries of NATO will begin," Djukanovic said.
