Yugoslavia demands, as seen on ethnographical map above, that her border be moved west to incorporate all of Venezia Giulia and the Istrian peninsula into the Yugoslavia Republic; that Trieste be made a free city, with status of a federal unit of the republic; and that the port of Trieste be internationalized, although under Yugoslav sovereignty.
