Rome, 11 September (LaPresse) – Linguistic minorities and their protection constitute ‘a heritage that enriches our two countries and makes them more capable of being protagonists in the European dimension we are experiencing, truly capable of understanding how to grow and develop, because diversity is a value that makes us stronger and consolidates the social structure of every country.’ This was emphasised by the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, speaking in Koper during his trip to Slovenia.
