Language

Although though the Government of the Republic of Croatia does not guarantee official Croatian-Italian bilinguialism, the statute of Funtana itself does.[7]: 3  Preserving traditional Italian place names and assigning street names to Italian historical figures is legally mandated, but not carried out.[7]: 135
