Language
Although though the Government of the Republic of Croatia does not guarantee official Croatian-Italian bilingualism, the statute of Funtana itself does.[6]: 3 Preserving traditional Italian place names and assigning street names to Italian historical figures is legally mandated, but not carried out.[6]: 135
