Drnovsek Addresses Letter to Napolitano over Latest Foibe Spat

Ljubljana, 14 February - Slovenia president Janez Drnovsek addresses a letter to his Italian counterpart Giorgio Napolitano over the recent spat between Italy and Croatia. The exchange was prompted by Napolitano's recent speech in which he attributed the post-WWII killings of Italians and the disposal of the bodies in Karst pits - the foibe - as "Slavic bloodthirstiness".
