Contents Summary
This broadcast focuses on the ethnic Italian element in Istria and the northern region of Slovenia. Manilo Vidovic, director of Radio Capodistria, is interviewed on the role his station plays for the ethnic Italian minority in the Istrian peninsula. The report details the pre-WWII population of ethnic Italians as over 80%, with the current levels down to about 3%. Italian schools are still funded by the Italian government in the Istrian region. Interviews with ethnic Italian civilians, local officials, and businessmen are provided throughout. They all primarily discuss the various ways life on Istra has been changed by the new border between Croatia and Slovenia. The question of the Istrian population is discussed vigorously, in regards to the social and political future of the ethnic Italians there.
