Evidence (2023-04-16): Vukovar is a town located in eastern Croatia, near the border with Serbia. Throughout its history, Vukovar has been a melting pot of various cultures and civilizations, including the Romans, the Ottoman Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, the most tragic chapter in Vukovar's history is undoubtedly the Croatian War of Independence in the 1990s. As Yugoslavia began to dissolve in 1991, tensions between Croats and Serbs escalated, leading to armed conflict. [...] Today, Vukovar is still recovering from the scars of the war. The town has been rebuilt, but many residents continue to struggle with the physical and emotional wounds of the conflict. The memory of Vukovar remains a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of peace and reconciliation.

Evidence (2017-05-28): The Island of Vukovar is a disputed island on the river Danube located nearby the city of Vukovar, currently part of Eastern Croatia and having the most important fluvial harbour in the area. Since the end of the Cold War in 1991, the island has been the site of continuous territorial and border conflicts between the states of Serbia and Croatia, which have not seen an end yet.

Evidence (2023-04-20): 1 The Name Vukovar The name Vukovar means ‘town on the Vuka River’ (Vuko from the Vuka River, and vár from the Hungarian word for ‘fortress’). The name of the Vuka River itself originates from the Slavic word ‘vuk’, meaning ‘wolf’. In other languages, the city in German is known as Wukowar, in Hungarian as Vukovár or Valkóvár, and in Serbian as Вуковар. In the late 17th century, the medieval Croatian name Vukovo was supplanted by the Hungarian Vukovár. [...] Whoever says that there are no sand beaches in Croatia, hasn’t been to the Ada beach of Vukovar. The Vukovar Ada, a sandy island on the Danube, is the favourite summer location for the citizens of Vukovar and it’s only a 5 minute boat ride away from the centre of Vukovar. The surface area of the island is about 1,000 hectares, depending on the water level in the river. The fishermen from Vukovar have created a wonderful sandy beach. A gazebo in the shade of the forest offers refreshing beverages and the court nearby is an opportunity to play beach volleyball. Transportation to the Ada is available during the summer months.

Evidence (2018-06-15): Madrid asserts that both territories are integral parts of Spain and have the same status as the semi-autonomous districts on its mainland, such as the Basque and Catalan regions. However, Morocco has made numerous claims to the territories since gaining independence. In 2002, the dispute turned violent after a small group of Moroccan soldiers set up camp on the Spanish-controlled Parsley Island, 200 metres off the coast of mainland Morocco. They were forcefully removed by the Spanish navy, in a clash that heightened tensions between the two countries.

Evidence (2021-11-22): Vukovar – The past, the present, the future - by croatiaweek - in News [...] The Serb territorial defense and paramilitaries were never searched for. They are there today, living side by side with their neighbors, in Vukovar, Osijek, Erdut, and Borovo Selo. The same neighbors who they attempted to kill, rape and torture. Forgiveness and reconciliation are hard when there is much injustice still felt by the victims of these horrible crimes.

Evidence (2021-04-20): A brief history of Vukovar [...] After the Ottoman dominion (in the 16th and the 17th century), a significant part of the Vukovar area was purchased by the German Counts of Eltz, who will have a significant influence on the economy and culture of Vukovar during the following two centuries. German, Hungarian, Jewish, Rusyn, Slovak and Ukrainian immigrants also moved to the area at the time. Thus, the area became multi-national and in 1745 Vukovar became the centre of the vast Syrmia Country. [...] Vukovar is a symbol of resistance, invincibility and persistence. Vukovar is also a symbol of peace in which courage, self-sacrifice and the greatness of its defenders give it an exalted place in the creation of an independent Republic of Croatia.

[...] Recreational activities abound, from biking the seaside promenade, to sailing in the gentle waters of the Gulf of Piran. Swimming and tanning are, of course, exceptionally popular. One of the best, indeed, one of the only sights in Piran is the Church of St. George, and it’s worth hiking to the top of the bell tower (1€) to catch a spectacular view of the town. Portions of Piran’s old city walls run through the hill behind it, which can also be toured, and just behind them is the local cemetery, which is typically filled with bedazzling flower displays.

Evidence (2024-10-07): Origins of Gulf of Piran issues [edit]Following World War II, the area from north of Trieste to the Mirna River in the south was part of the Free Territory of Trieste. In 1954, the Territory was dissolved; the area was provisionally divided between Italy and Yugoslavia, and the division made final by the Treaty of Osimo in 1975. In the first draft delimitation proposal following both countries' 1991 declarations of independence, Slovenia proposed[14] establishing the border in the Gulf of Piran's center. However, Slovenia changed the draft the following year (declaring its sovereignty over the entire Gulf on 5 June 1992).[14] Since then Slovenia has continued to insist on this position.

Evidence (2020-11-22): The Slovenian coast is located 47 kilometres long between Italy and Croatia. It has also been a place of territorial importance for more than twenty years with Croatia following the break-up of ex-Yugoslavia in 1991. The maritime border between the two countries is still not entirely clear, since Slovenia has claimed the entire Gulf of Piran since its independence and is planning a corridor through Croatian territorial waters to give it access to international waters (see maps below). [...] The old town of Piran, in the shape of a peninsula or a point, is simply splendid and pleasant to stroll around. Nicknamed Little Venice (like so many European cities, which have either canals or buildings resembling it), it is true that I have sometimes felt like in the Serenissima at the bend of an alley. Moreover, most of the buildings on the peninsula were built during the Venetian reign over Piran (under its yoke until its decline in 1797). Centuries of Italian, Austrian, Croatian and Slovenian influences thus brought about a great ethnic and architectural diversity. [...] We parked the car in the garage of the Arze and started our visit to the city walls from where the postcard view is grandiose. Dating from the 15th century (period between 1470 and 1533, the first rampart of the town was built around the 7th century), the panorama over the peninsula which juts out into the deep blue reinforced by the reddish roofs of the houses is absolutely magnificent. Still surrounding the city with a protective embrace, Piran is, in its almost totality, a real protected cultural monument.

Evidence (2023-06-13): As I traveled along the Slovenian coast, I stumbled upon a small, but charming town called Piran. The town's rich history can be seen in its Spanish and Venetian architecture. The old town is a maze of narrow streets that lead to cozy cafes and picturesque little squares. I learned that Piran was once a part of the Venetian Republic, and its influence is still present in the town's culture and cuisine. The town is situated on a small peninsula that juts boldly out into the Adriatic Sea, making it perfect for a romantic getaway or solo retreat. The best part of Piran is the view from the top of the hill where you can see the entire town and surrounding waters, it's truly breathtaking.

Evidence (2024-09-15): The Piran Old Town stands on a peninsula called Punta Madonna, and from there opens the Gulf of Piran, which stretches from the port to the spa town of Portorož, which is part of the municipality of Piran and is renowned for being one of the most exclusive destinations in Slovenia, with a good choice of luxury hotels and casinos. [...] Until the mid-20th century Piran was mainly inhabited by Italian-speaking people, and after WWI it was annexed to the Kingdom of Italy. After the tragic events of WWII Piran fell under the military occupation of the troops of Tito and the Allies and was assigned to Zone B of the Free Territory of Trieste, under Yugoslavian administration. Thus it definitively merged, following the Osimo Treaty in 1975, into socialist Yugoslavia. Most of the population, which was ethnically and culturally Italian, was forced to leave and was replaced by Slovenians. However, the municipality of Piran is still officially bilingual, and both Slovenian and Italian are spoken here. After the dissolution of Yugoslavia, Piran merged into the territory of the newly formed Republic of Slovenia.

Morocco claims the Spanish cities of Ceuta and Melilla and the plazas de soberanía islets off the northern coast of Africa. Portugal does not recognise Spain's sovereignty over the territory of Olivenza.[186]

Evidence (2021-11-22): In the case of Slovenia, its position is grounded in longstanding territorial disputes. The issue of unclear boundaries is common to any former Yugoslav country, including EU member states Croatia and Slovenia. Specifically, a highly disputed question arises regarding the waters of both countries in the Piran Gulf. The disagreement between the two parties dates back to the disintegration of Yugoslavia and their subsequent independence, as Croatia's claims involve blocking Slovenia's access to international waters.
