Abstract

Until the 1954 Memorandum of Understanding of London (MoU), the Slovene minority in Italy and the Italian minority in Yugoslavia did not enjoy any specific international protection. The MoU granted some international protections for the minorities residing in the never-born Free Territory of Trieste, charging a bilateral Mixed Committee of supervising their implementation. However, at first the MoU was not implemented by the two governments, which had different aims: Italy wanted all implementations or new concessions to be reciprocated, while Yugoslavia sought unilateral implementations and concessions from Italy. This led to a long stalemate, which was overcome only in 1961, when Yugoslavia agreed to negotiate on the basis of the principle of reciprocity. Thereafter, Rome and Belgrade made some very important concessions in favour of their reciprocal minorities in a very short time, even managing in some cases to overcome the protections provided by the MoU.
