The golden age of the Pavarotti centre is today in the past.
Its director, Elvedin Nezirović, says that “the activities of the centre are alive more thanks to the enthusiasm of the people working there than to the real possibilities”.
“The centre has the same faith like most other cultural institutions in B&H. In terms of financing, the Pavarotti centre is financed by the town of Mostar which is officially its founder but the town pays minimally, it barely covers the most minimal salaries. So, everything else, including workshops and all necessary costs, is in a sad way something for what the employees find money on their own.” – said Nezirović.
