Leaders of the Unione Italiana met with officials from the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in Trieste to discuss relations between Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia.

The Unione Italiana submitted several requests to the Italian government, including the renewal of Law 73/01, increased funding for the Italian minority in Slovenia and Croatia, and a revision of citizenship laws to allow members of the Italian National Community to transmit citizenship to their descendants. Participants also advocated for the revival of trilateral dialogue between Italy, Croatia, and Slovenia to bolster political, economic, and cultural ties.
