on february 18, 1983, yugoslavia and italy signed a treaty in rome where yugoslavia agreed to pay 110 million usd for the compensation of the exiles' property which was confiscated after the war. by its breakup in 1991 yugoslavia paid 18 million usd. slovenia and croatia, two yugoslav successors, agreed to share the remainder of this debt. slovenia assumed 62% and croatia the remaining 38%. italy did not want to reveal the bank account number so in 1994 slovenia opened a fiduciary account at dresdner bank in luxembourg, informed italy about it and started paying its 55,976,930 usd share. the last payment was paid in january 2002. until today croatia hopes for a different solution of this matter and has not paid a dollar yet. the italian side has not withdrawn a single dollar from the account yet.
