evidence: Origins of Gulf of Piran issues [edit]Following World War II, the area from north of Trieste to the Mirna River in the south was part of the Free Territory of Trieste. In 1954, the Territory was dissolved; the area was provisionally divided between Italy and Yugoslavia, and the division made final by the Treaty of Osimo in 1975. In the first draft delimitation proposal following both countries' 1991 declarations of independence, Slovenia proposed[14] establishing the border in the Gulf of Piran's center. However, Slovenia changed the draft the following year (declaring its sovereignty over the entire Gulf on 5 June 1992).[14] Since then Slovenia has continued to insist on this position.
