Border- or boundary-making in Istria is an old undertaking. It actually never ceases, not even today. Istria has thus undergone substantial boundary shifts during the last couple of centuries. Despite the fierce battle of words in Slovenian public media on whether the interstate boundary should be placed on Mirna (Quieto) or Dragonja Rivers, the author argues that the choice of the Valley of Dragonja as a boundary is by all means Slovenian. The arguments are based on extensive analyses of cartographic materials, pertinent literature, and statistical data.

B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 12063821Istra je svetovno znana po verjetno največjem sporu v povojni Evropi (tržaško vprašanje). Omenjeni spor pa je eden od štirih temeljev sedanjega slovensko-hrvaškega mejnega spora. Ostali trije so: Kozlerjeva meja okoli Dragonje (Rokave), neoprijemljivi pojmi avstrijskih popisov v Istri in dojemanje partizanskih enot o vojaški pristojnosti. Referat se ukvarja s pomenom omenjenega tržaškega spora in s pomenom tega spora za sedanji meddržavni spor.
