RIJEKA, Jan 9 (Hina) - The chairman of the Italian Union's Executive Committee, Silvano Zilli, on Thursday demanded that members of Trieste's National University's administrative board tender their resignations because of their
participation in the adoption of "a one-sided, illegitimate, unfounded and unacceptable decision to cease the financing of cultural and educational activities of the Italian national community in Croatia and Slovenia, and an attempt to found a Trieste National University branch in Rijeka".
