Towards the end of the war, the majority of the local population opted for annexation to Slovenia. However, in 1947, when this territory went to Yugoslavia in accordance with the peace treaty with Italy, these towns were annexed to the Buzet district or to the People%s Republic of Croatia. The Slovenian population engaged in passive resistance and kept refusing the authority of the Croatian side for a long time. Despite the initial promises that Slovenian police officers and teachers would remain in this area, the former were swiftly replaced, while Slovenian language disappeared from schools after a few years. In June 1955, the majority of the population expressed a wish to be included in the People%s Republic of Slovenia, and therefore the Slovenian government proposed to the government of Croatia that the border be changed. The republican governments reached an agreement, which was then implemented in accordance with the constitutional principles, set out in the Yugoslav Constitution. The agreement was first confirmed by the Assemblies of both republics, Croatia and Slovenia, while in March 1956, the ordinance on the alteration of the borders between the republics was also confirmed by the Federal People%s Assembly. This was the only example of an alteration of the Slovenian-Croatian border that was confirmed in the manner as prescribed by the Yugoslav Constitution, while the questions involving the other disputed border sections remained unsolved until the independence of both statesTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZgodovinsko društvo za južno Primorsko
