TITO’S VISIT TO ROME
(NZ.P. A.-Reuter—Copuright) ROME, Dec. 10. Italy and Jugoslavia have announced in a joint communique that President Tito’s State visit to Italy, which was due to begin today, has been postponed. The Communique did not give the reasons for the postponement. The visit would have been President Tito’s first to Italy since the Second World War. The communique stressed the desire of the two countries to develop their relations of good-neighbourliness and friendship. The postponement means that the Jugoslav President will also have to delay the meeting with Pope Paul that was arranged for Saturday, after two days of official talks with Italian leaders. Informed sources in Rome say that the postponement is the result of differences over the agenda for those talks with Italian leaders, and particularly the subject of Trieste, which is still in dispute. While Jugoslavia has de facto jurisdiction over part of the former “free territory,” its sovereignty is still not formally recognised by Italy.
