Slovenian-Italian Cultural-Historical Commission


The Slovenian-Italian Cultural-Historical Commission was a joint bilateral commission the members of which were appointed by Republic of Slovenia and Republic of Italy by the exchange of notes in October 1993. It was established with the task of conducting a comprehensive in-depth study of all the relevant aspects of the history of political and cultural relations between the two nations, including the tragic periods. Although the initiative was launched at the governmental level, the bilateral commission was independent in its work.
