Italy-Slovenia: Fvg-National Assembly memorandum on the way

Zidan:election of Slovenian representatives must be simplified

24 January, 18:03
(ANSA) - TRIESTE, JAN 24 - A memorandum will be signed in Ljubljana this autumn to initiate a joint discussion between the Regional Council of Friuli Venezia Giulia and Slovenia's National Assembly on the proposals of law involving the two territories. Among the discussion topics are local authorities, environment, renewable energy and culture. The meeting held today in Trieste between the President of the Fvg Council, Piero Mauro Zanin, and the President of Slovenia's National Assembly, Dejan Zidan, who was accompanied by two MPs, Meira Hot and Felice Ziza, had the goal to lay the foundations for this memorandum. ''We must rebuild the Europe of the peoples, regions and communities'', Zanin said at the end of the meeting. Zidan asked for a simplification of the laws to elect the representatives of Slovenian minorities in Italy. Zidan called the memorandum ''an important proposal, given that the two assemblies are legislative bodies and we can see that their members have a strong desire for an exchange of views with the communities''. ''I am very happy with this meeting,'' Zanin said, adding that ''Europe must no longer be that of markets and banks, ruled by finance. It's time to abandon this unworthy way of thinking, a relationship based on numbers cannot express the more complex relationship between European citizens. This collaboration between communities, peoples and those who live in neighbouring countries, is a tool to build a common path. We want to establish laws which are useful for this new European community'', he said. (ANSA).
