Symposium of Historians to Mark 90 Years of Isonzo Front

Kobarid, 6 October - The town of Kobarid will host this weekend a symposium of historians in what is yet another event marking the 90th anniversary of the beginning of the battles on the Isonzo Front on the Slovenian western border. The battles ended in November 1917 with the co-called "Miracle near Kobarid", when the Austro-Hungarian and German forces defeated Italian soldiers in their only offensive on this front.
