Italy-in-JugoslaviaCitizens of Ancona, on the east coast of Italy, face another bit of Italian soil just across the Adriatic on the west coast of Jugoslavia. Called Zara, this seaport, with its environs, was ceded to Italy by Jugoslavia in the treaty of Rapallo in 1920. Once the capital of Dalmatia, the Zara area comprises 42 square miles of territory and includes some 19,000 people. Its Italian population and historic associa-• tion were arguments for its assignment to Italy. Protected by a group of small islands which almost surround the promontory on which it lies, Zara is strategically located as a potential base for naval operations. The technical geographic name for such a region is ‘ ‘enclave/’ which means an area enclosed by alien territory.
