(ANSA) - Bolzano, September 20 - The Austrian parliament on Friday revived a plan to give a double passport to Alto Adige's German and Ladin speakers with the approval of an amendment on this issue. The amendment was backed by Austrian People's Party and the far-right FPOE, while the Social Democrats and the other parties in parliament voted against.
The plan had been put on ice following objections from Rome.
