During the ceremony, a commemorative plaque dedicated to the victims of the tragedy was unveiled.In her address, the Consul quoted the words of the President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella:
“Our identity as Democratic and European Country couldn’t accept that important history pages were torn up, leaving our citizens of the ‘eastern border’ in a sort of moral abandon. Reestablishing the historical truth and nurturing memory are the result of a determined and precious work which the Giulian-Dalmatian exiled associations contribute to realize”.
