This is an opportunity to present for the first time, to the
Croatian public, a small Croat community of the Italian province of
Molise, and not give them an opportunity to establish new relations
with their homeland.
Recalling that Croats had arrived in this province five
hundred years ago, director of the Croatian Migrants Affairs
Office, Ante Beljo, wished that they be the promoters of
cooperation between the Croatian and Italian people.
"One of the biggest valuables of Croatia and Italy are these
two ethnic minorities.
One which brings the Italian culture to Croatia and the other
which brings the Croatian culture to Italy," Italian Ambassador to
Croatia, Domenico Olivieri said.
