Pejovic presented the results of the Intergovernmental Conference held recently in Brussels, where Montenegro opened 2 and 3 Chapters, as well as with the remaining chapters to be opened.
The minister pointed out that cooperation and support in opening and later closing chapters is of key importance for Montenegro during this period of pre-accession negotiations.
