Board of directors

“There are people who neither occupy any high position in society, nor possess any special abilities, but still have an innate strength, which need not be revealed through any extraordinary achievements, yet strength which lives, drives them and affects anyone they meet.”
These words of Ivo Andrić reflect my experience of ANIP and particular of the performing ensemble and Art Directors. When I became Chairwoman of the Board of the Society, I simply felt that boys and girls I had never known or even met before, could do ANYTHING, if only we believed in them. There is that huge strength and love that exist in their friendship and their folk-dance and song. For these reasons, I believe in them and their Art Directors from the bottom of my heart.
