AHC: Surviving independent Trieste

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to have the Free State of Trieste survive to the present day as a fully independent country (ie, not governed from Yugoslavia or Italy) with a POD after the German surrender in 1945. It can be Communist, NATO-aligned, neutral, whatever, but it has to still exist in 2010
 
A NATO military supported(read US) is the only way to go. If they decide to be neutral the country will just become a political and maybe even a real battleground between pro-Italian and pro-Slavic parties.
