The action of the OZNA (later UDBA) continued even after June 1945
TRIESTE – “Liberation Day from Yugoslav Occupation”. June 12, 1945 is only the beginning of a long struggle to re-establish democracy and bring Trieste back to Italy. After June 12, 1945, which marks the beginning of the liberation from the Yugoslav nightmare, there was no real peace and security in Trieste not only for the Italians, but also for elements of the Slovenian minority not in line with Tito's communists. From new archive documents and journalistic sources of the time, it can be deduced how for a long time, in Trieste and in other parts of Italy, the various Yugoslav sections for the Defense of the People (OZNA and then...
The celebrations of June 12th in Trieste, Gorizia and Monfalcone
Official celebrations for the solemn anniversary of June 12, newly established by the respective municipal administrations to commemorate the day in 1945 when the occupation of the Yugoslav partisan troops ended, took place today in Trieste, Gorizia and Monfalcone. For forty days they carried out deportations, killings in the foibe and persecutions not only of former fascists, but even of local anti-fascist patriotic elements opposed to the annexation of Venezia Giulia to Tito's communist Yugoslavia. The initiative was launched by the Mayor of Trieste Roberto Dipiazza, whose council approved his proposal to establish the "Liberation Day of the City of...
After June 12, 1945, Tito's massacres continued
The entry of Yugoslav troops into Trieste, Gorizia, Fiume and Istria at the beginning of May 1945 completed the transformation of a national liberation struggle into an expansionist project that went beyond the internationally recognized borders of pre-war Yugoslavia. This is why June 12, 1945 can be considered a liberation for Trieste and Gorizia from the violent and mournful presence of Josip Broz “Tito”’s partisans. On the 16th, Pola also experienced a temporary liberation, but for the rest of Istria and Fiume, the process of absorption into the nascent... continued under the formal guise of the Yugoslav military administration.
June 12th is added to the historical anniversaries of Gorizia
Ziberna: “A day that corresponds to the true liberation of Gorizia” Gorizia remembers the day in 1945 when the occupation of the city by Tito's troops ended. June 12th is therefore included in the list of dates that the Municipality of Gorizia intends to enhance because they are among the most significant in the contemporary history of the city. This is established by a resolution approved today by the municipal council, which thus extends the list of commemorations that draw on local history, including those of March 27th 1946 (for the demonstrations aimed at affirming the Italian identity of Gorizia) and May 3rd 1945 (in memory of the deportations and killings perpetrated...
The truth about Trieste that the left in Croatia doesn't like
In the margin of the statements of the Mayor of Fiume – Rijeka, Dr. Obersnel, on historical issues concerning the city of Trieste, which appeared in IL PICCOLO: one cannot ignore this part of the truth when commenting on historical facts of great complexity and importance. In early May 1945, with the arrival of the Yugoslav partisan forces, there was no real liberation, nor were the foundations laid for the advent of a democratic and multi-party regime in Zadar, Fiume, Istria or Trieste. To the historical mission of having contributed to the defeat of Nazism in that border area, the Yugoslav Popular Movement, controlled by the communists, added to this the serious...

The turning point of Trieste: the solemn memory of the end of the red occupation
After the end of the Second World War, Tito's troops occupied Trieste. A nightmare that lasted 40 days, culminating in the foibe by Fausto Biloslavo - 28/05/2020 - Source: Il Giornale In Trieste, the definitive liberation from the horrors of the Second World War did not come on April 25, but on June 12, 1945 after 40 days of occupation of the Julian capital by Tito's troops. And now this date has become an official anniversary thanks to a proposal by Mayor Roberto Dipiazza. On June 12, Trieste will solemnly remember "the day of the liberation of the city from Yugoslav occupation". Berlin celebrates the fall of the wall, but the Julian capital is the...
