Prosek: 2025 memorial ceremony postponed.
Trieste, 4 November 2025. – Each year, the movements Civiltà Mitteleuropea and Free Trieste organize the traditional public memorial service to honor the valor and sacrifices of the fallen Austro-Hungarian soldiers from Trieste and their brotherly peoples during the 1914-1918 World War.
The ceremony is traditionally held in November at the Austro-Hungarian military cemetery of Prosek-Prosecco, on the Karst plateau near Trieste, featuring a multilingual Christian, Jewish, and Muslim service celebrating and honoring the coexistence of the people and faiths of the ancient supranational Mitteleuropean Fatherland.
The 2023 and 2024 editions of the ceremony were postponed to avoid provocations by fanatics inflamed by the conflict unfolding in the Middle East, triggered by the massacre of Israeli civilians carried out by Hamas terrorists on October 7th, 2023.
Although that conflict is nearing its end, extremist tensions remain, making it necessary to postpone the November 2025 ceremony as well, in the hope that peace, coexistence, and justice will soon be restored among the peoples of the region, in the spirit of the US-backed Abraham Accords.
