Trieste and peninsula Istra (Italian Istria, I think) was before ww2 mainly in Italian hands. After the war Istria or in croatian Istra, came definitely under Yugoslavia, actually under Croatia, but Croatia was not independent, so it was Yugoslavia then.
Also city of Trieste (or Trst in south Slavic languages) was in 1945 occupied both from allies and from Tito’s Yugoslav partisan forces, so it was briefly in Yugoslavia (or Slovenia which was part of Yugoslavia all the way until 1991) It was interesting situation, I will upload interesting read about partisans and new Zealand division in Trst in 1945.
This map is IMO very good in showing situation in Yugoslavia in 1930s
