1996	Luigi Solari [de]	Slovenia and Croatia are united in their opposition to movements for Istrian autonomy and to any revisio to their detriment of the 1975 Treaty of Osimo, which had defined the borders between the SFRY and Italy, and had provided for the payment by the SFRY of compensation for Italian property transferred to Yugoslav sovereignty after 1947. Although Slovenia asserted that its dept in this matter (in accordance with the Treaty of Osimo and the 1983 Treaty of Rome) had been discharged in full, in 1993 some 35,000 Italians were reported to be demanding compensation for, or the restitution of, property on Slovenia. In July 1994 the Italian Government of Silvio Berlusconi stated that until the Slovenian authorities agreed to compensate Italian nationals who had fled after 1947 from territory now held by Slovenia, and whose property had been after 1947 from territory now held by Slovenia, and whose property had been confiscated under communist rule, Italy would block effort by Slovenia to achieve further integration with western Europe. Italy thus prevented scheduled negotiations on an association agreement between Slovenia and the EU until March 1995, when the new Italian Government of Lamberto Dini withdrew the veto. Preliminary agreement on trade and political co-operation was reached in June. However, it was not until May 1996 that Slovenia and Italy agreed to accopromise solution proposed by Spain, whereby Slovenia was to allow EU nationals to purchases property in Slovenia, on a reciprocal basis, within four years of the associacion agreement's ratification, and EU citizens who had previously permanently resident in Slovenia for a period of three years (thus including Italian nationals who had fled after the Second World war) would be permitted to buy immediately. In June Slovenia finally signed an association agreement with the EU, and simultaneously applied for full membership of the organization. At the beginning of July 1997 it was announced that Italy was to begin ratification of July 1997 it was announced that Italy was to begin ratification of the agreement brokered by Spain as soon as the Slovenian parliament had approved the European Agreement.^[2]	Carlo Azeglio Ciampi	Janez Drnovšek
