Following then the right hank of the Isonzo, theethnographical frontier crosses this river near Sdraussina,abandons this locality to the Italians and leads to the sea. Inthis sector, tin locality of Sagrado, Etedipuglia, Vermigliano,and Monfalcone, togetherVith those situated to the West,remain to the Italians.

Yet the State of the Serbians, Croationsand Slovenes does not claim the Slovene territory situated ontin other side of the Austro-Italian frontier. This frontier is also justified from the geographical pointof view. Indeed the calcarious formations which reach theriver of Isonso characterize all the western part of the Bal-kanic Peninsula. But along all its lower part the ethnographical frontierwill have to serve as new frontier between the two States,which will answer as well to the will of the interested popu-lations iv I,, their economical wants.
