LJUBLJANA, Aug 18 (Hina) - Slovene Foreign Minister Ivo Vajgl has described an Italian film about the alleged ethnic cleansing of Italians from Istria and the Slovene coastal area in World War Two as a provocation and an insult to Slovenes as well as a historical forgery which does an injustice to a people "who in the course of history was exposed to the aggression of neighbours".

"That's an unwelcome project, especially when the political aspirations of some extreme political forces are hanged onto it," Vajgl told a news conference in Ljubljana on Wednesday, adding he would use his first meeting with his Italian counterpart Franco Frattini to point to the problem posed by the film Italian state television RAI shot in Montenegro.

Vajgl said, however, that Ljubljana would not formally protest because works of art "are not a matter of relations between states".

The film depicts Slovene partisans as persecutors of the Italian population around Trieste in 1943-45. Vajgl concluded by saying the problem did not start with the national liberation struggle in Slovenia but with the violence fascists perpetrated against Slovenia's population.
