While applying for this position, she stated:
“I feel that all museums and museum professionals have responsibility to keep, protect and promote our common heritage and teach that if we all work hard together, then we and younger generations will have brighter future. Respecting multicultural heritage, mutual understanding, working for visitors’ programs, working on museum projects and fostering cooperation on many topics – all of that is very important and necessary at the moment for cultural and economic development of the Balkans.”
Congratulations Irena and welcome on Board!
