The purpose of the mission was to assess whether there could be a direct agreement between Yugoslavia and Italy regarding the new border and, above all, the allegiance of Trieste. His mission, however, proved to be fruitless as no agreement was reached. None of the parties involved was prepared to make any compromises. While Italy refused to recognise or at least repent for the crimes they had committed during the Second World War, Yugoslavia was unwilling to accept the terms laid out by Italy, which insisted on first resolving the issue of the deportations from the Julian March. The failure of Josip Smodlaka’s mission, which lasted from October 1945 to January 1946, was thus also the failure of the first attempt to reach a direct agreement between Yugoslavia and ItalyPrispevek obravnava delo Josipa Smodlake, hrvaškega pravnika in diplomata, ki je ob koncu druge svetovne vojne, po navodilih Josipa Broza – Tita in Edvarda Kardelja, odpotoval na tajno misijo v Rim. Namen misije je bil, da Smodlaka presodi ali bi lahko prišlo do neposrednega sporazuma med Jugoslavijo in Italijo glede vprašanja nove meje ter predvsem pripadnosti Trsta. Kot se je izkazalo, je bila njegova pot brez uspeha, saj do sporazuma ni prišlo. Nobena od vpletenih strani namreč ni bila pripravljena popuščati. Medtem ko Italija ni priznavala zločinov storjenih v času druge svetovne vojne ali se zanje vsaj pokesala, Jugoslavija ni bila pripravljena sprejemati pogojev s strani Italije, ki je vztrajala na tem, da se najprej razreši vprašanje deportacij iz Julijske krajine. S propadom misije Josipa Smodlake, ki je trajala od oktobra 1945 do januarja 1946, je torej propadel tudi prvi poskus neposrednega sporazuma med Jugoslavijo in ItalijoTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza na Primorskem, Znanstveno-raziskovalno središče Koper
