(ANSA) - BELGRADE, APR 12 - The dean of the University of
Trieste, Roberto Di Lenarda, conferred a master's degree in Law
Honoris Causa on the former president of the Republic of
Slovenia, Borut Pahor, and the president of Italy, Sergio
Mattarella. During the proclamation in the university's main
hall, a photo from July 13, 2020, showing the two presidents
holding hands in Basovizza, was projected.
"In recent years, Slovenia and Italy have developed a
constant and fruitful dialogue, fueled by the awareness that
common adhesion and belonging to the European home and
Euro-Atlantic values represent that element of identity that
strengthens our countries' gaze towards the future. As Borut
Pahor has repeatedly emphasised, reconciliation with history
does not absolve us of the responsibility to know and remember
it," Mattarella stated at the ceremony. (ANSA).
