Treaty of Osimo: Difference between revisions

In 1994, the Italian government, led by [[Silvio Berlusconi]], demanded that adequate compensation be paid, or efforts to integrate Slovenia into Western Europe would be halted. To that effect, it blockadblocked talks for Slovenia's accession to the [[European Union]] until March 1995, when the new government, under [[Lamberto Dini]], retracted the Italian demand. A co-operative pact was signed (led by [[Spain]]), with the effect of allowing Italian nationals who had resided in Slovenia for three years to purchase property there for up to four years after the pact was signed. It came into force during Slovenia's attempts to join the EU.<ref>{{cite book|title=Europa World Year Book 2|volume=2|author=Taylor & Francis Group|year=2004|page=3796|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gP_-8rXzQs8C&pg=PA3796|isbn=9781857432558}}</ref>
