The University of Trieste has awarded honorary degrees to Mattarella and Pahor
The University of Trieste today awarded the Honorary Master's Degree in Law to the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella and Borut Pahor, former President of the Republic of Slovenia, two personalities who are contributing to writing the history of the Adriatic border. The reason for the double award is, in fact, the policy of reconciliation pursued by the two Presidents that has made the eastern border area, marked by the wounds of twentieth-century history, an example of collaboration between peoples linked by their common membership in the European Union. This is the reason: "Sergio Mattarella and Borut Pahor have courageously repudiated the...
Gorizia: the history, our future
Seeing our territory at the center of national and international news not for the events of the past but for those of the future truly represents a historic turning point for Gorizia. Because this is the message that the two presidents Mattarella and Pahor present today in our land wanted to give: Gorizia and Nova Gorica represent the best Europe, the one that fights to build a tomorrow full of opportunities for its people, for young people, overcoming divisions and resentments. This is the point, not sterile speeches and good intentions but far-reaching projects, such as the European Capital of Culture, which will lead to a great turning point, also economic for the entire territory....
Recognition of the Tragedies of the Past and a Shared Future between Italy and Slovenia
A year ago, the President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella and his Slovenian counterpart Borut Pahor paused for a minute of silence in front of the Basovizza Foiba. Starting from that symbolic place, Italy and Slovenia began to look no longer at what divides, but at what unites, with particular reference to the deaths and upheavals caused by Tito's communist dictatorship, both in Venezia Giulia and in Slovenia. To seal this sharing, the Mayor of Trieste Roberto Dipiazza, in whose mandates not only the day of July 13, 2020 but also the Concert of the Three Presidents took place, awarded President Pahor the highest...

From Basovizza a road map for Italy in the Balkans
by Igor Pellicciari - 19/07/2020 - Source: Formiche. Analysis, comments and scenarios Beyond the beautiful emotions that seeing Sergio Mattarella and Borut Pahor holding hands aroused, the historic meeting must be an opportunity to reflect on the relations between Italy and the Balkans, beyond the mistrust and ghosts of the past. The analysis by Igor Pellicciari, professor of History of International Relations at the University of Urbino and Luiss Guido Carli. The ceremony in Basovizza of the Italian president together with the Slovenian president was politically important but also touching for those who have lived halfway between the Italian and Balkan spaces. Among them is the undersigned who,...
Fiume exiles in Basovizza
I followed with interest the ceremonies on the Carso that preceded the meeting in Trieste at the Prefecture and at the Narodni Dom returned to the Slovenian Community in the name of a pacification that proceeds through symbolic gestures, sharing, support. As people of Fiume, we fully understand the need to untie the knots of history and build new opportunities. While the images of the two presidents, Sergio Mattarella of Italy and Borut Pahor of Slovenia, scrolled by, holding hands at the Foiba di Basovizza and then in front of the memorial stone of the executed, there are many thoughts that I would have liked to express in a hypothetical assembly of all of us exiles and Italians who remained: starting from the...
July 13th in Trieste, a day with two sides
In light of some misleading interpretations that have been provided regarding a rhetorical response given by the President of the National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia, Cav. Renzo Codarin, during an interview, it is reiterated that the ANVGD, consistently with the various communications issued and published on the eve of the Trieste day of July 13, distinguishes two parts of the joint visit of Presidents Sergio Mattarella and Borut Pahor. «The importance of the historical aspect – Codarin specified – that the visit of the Head of the Slovenian State to the National Monument of the Foiba of Basovizza has goes well beyond what can be...

A step forward for pacification, but the problems of the exiles are not solved
The National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia considers the ceremony that took place this morning at the Foiba National Monument in Basovizza to be a step forward towards pacification between two national communities. President Sergio Mattarella and his Slovenian counterpart Borut Pahor laid a wreath at the place that for the community of Istrian, Fiume and Dalmatian exiles is the symbol of the mourning and violence suffered at the hands of Tito's Yugoslav partisans, especially after the war, in the lands that they were then forced to abandon after the transfer to Communist Yugoslavia sanctioned by the Peace Treaty of 10 February 1947. A delegation of the associations of the...
