Language Sn. (En., Sn., En.)The article shows changes in the attitude of the Yugoslav press toward the Trieste Crisis from 1945 to 1975 through analysis of the most important Yugoslav newspapers of the period. The claims made on the disputed territory diminished through time, from claims on all ethnically Yugoslav (Slovene and Croat) areas to the claims solely on Zone B of the Free Territory of Trieste. The press reacted according to official views of the Yugoslav leadership, demonstrated aggressive- ness during Italian-Yugoslav negotiations and acquiescence with the outcome of negotiations once an agreement had been made.
