It came out during the meeting in Trieste between the the Friuli Venezia Giulia regional Assessor for Culture, Gianni Torrenti, and the Slovenian general consul in the capital, Ingrid Sergas. The meeting, which also included the consul Tanja Mljac, for Sergas was the occasion to leave Trieste after three and a half years of service. The Consul General therefore wanted to meet Torrenti to thank the Regional Culture Directorate for constant attention to the Slovenian community in Friuli Venezia Giulia and the support to all projects aimed at the Italian-Slovenian dialogue. In this regard, Torrenti recalled the many advances recorded in recent years, listing the collaboration between the Rossetti Theater and the Slovenian Stable Ssg, the Peace Path Project, the opening of the Book Center in Trieste, the success of the Slofest event and the establishment of the Regional Center for Slovenian Language within the Regional Administration.
