A member of the project group presented the activities of the Slovenian artist and lawyer Josip Vilfan (1878-1955) in the context of internationalization of minority issues in the years 1918-1954. After the demarcation between the Kingdom of SHS and Italy after the end of the First World War, Vilfan began advocating for political and cultural coexistence of Slovenes, Croats and Italians in the Venezia Giulia and in general for the survival of the minorities in Europe. He also played an active role in the Italian Parliament in the context of the inter-parliamentary Union, and especially in the period 1925-1938, in the Congress of European nationalities, which he also presided over. After the Second World War he was active in the Institute for the study of international issues in the Yugoslav Ministry of Foreign Affairs and participated in collecting materials for the Paris Peace Conference.
