Editing Istria (section)

===After the breakup of Yugoslavia (after 1991)===
The division of Istria between Croatia and Slovenia runs on the former republic borders, which were not precisely defined in the former Yugoslavia. [[Croatia–Slovenia border disputes|Various points of contention remain unresolved between the two countries]] regarding the precise line of the border.<ref>Julio Aramberri, Richard Butler, [https://books.google.com/books?id=0qW5phGiLNUC&pg=PA195 ''Tourism Development'', pg. 195]</ref><!-- ref. no working ! -->

It became an international boundary with the independence of both countries from Yugoslavia in 1991. Since [[Croatia]]'s first multi-party elections in 1990, the [[Istrian identity|Istrian regionalist]] party [[Istrian Democratic Assembly]] (IDS-DDI, ''Istarski demokratski sabor'' or ''Dieta democratica istriana'') has consistently received a majority of the vote and maintained through the 1990s a position often contrary to the government in [[Zagreb]], led by the then nationalistic party [[Croatian Democratic Union]] (HDZ, ''Hrvatska demokratska zajednica''), with regards to decentralization in Croatia and certain facets of [[region]]al [[Autonomous entity|autonomy]].

However, that changed in 2000 when the IDS formed with five other parties a left-centre coalition government, led by the [[Social Democratic Party of Croatia]] (SDP, ''Socijaldemokratska Partija Hrvatske''). After the reformed HDZ won the Croatian parliamentary elections in late 2003 and formed a minority government, the IDS has cooperated with the state government on many projects, both local (in [[Istria County]]) and national. Since Slovenia's accession to the [[European Union]] and the [[Schengen Area]], customs and immigration checks have been abolished at the Italian-Slovenian border.
