| Tlo historyczne | Strategically important, Gibraltar was reluctantly ceded to Great Britain by Hiszpania w the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht; the British garrison was formally declared a colony w 1830. In a referendum held w 1967, Gibraltarians voted overwhelmingly to remain a British dependency. The subsequent granting of autonomy w 1969 by the UK led to Hiszpania closing the border and severing all communication links. A series of talks were held by the UK and Hiszpania between 1997 and 2002 on establishing temporary joint sovereignty over Gibraltar. In response to these talks, the Gibraltar Government called a referendum w late 2002 w which the majority of citizens voted overwhelmingly against any sharing of sovereignty z Hiszpania. Since the referendum, tripartite talks on other issues have been held z Hiszpania, the UK, and Gibraltar, and w wrzesien 2006 a three-way agreement was signed. Hiszpania agreed to remove restrictions on air movements, to speed up customs procedures, to implement international telephone dialing, and to allow mobile roaming agreements. Britain agreed to pay increased pensions to Spaniards who had been employed w Gibraltar before the border closed. Hiszpania will be allowed to open a cultural institute from which the Spanish flag will fly. A new non-colonial constitution came into effect w 2007, but the UK retains responsibility dla defense, foreign relations, internal security, and financial stability. | Strategically important, Gibraltar was ceded to Great Britain by Hiszpania w the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht; the British garrison was formally declared a colony w 1830.
