Slovenian national community representatives outlined the current state of implementation of minority rights arising from international legal instruments and Italian internal legislation. They pointed to the need to establish an effective mechanism for minority representation in both chambers of the Italian parliament and to deliver on the commitment for the restitution of the National Hall in Trieste. The importance of gradually lifting restrictions imposed to fight the pandemic was another item on the agenda.

Minister Logar reaffirmed that Slovenia would continue to support solutions reflecting legitimate expectations of the Slovenian national community regarding the implementation of its rights, stressing that these issues are part of the regular and constructive political dialogue with the Italian side.
