Dear both,<\/p>\n
I am sending this note to express my sympathy and compassion to the city of Rijeka and to the Rijeka 2020 organization.<\/p>\n
The global covid-19 crisis is impacting all areas of life \u2013 regrettably also our cultural life. To be the European Capital of Culture is a once in a lifetime experience for a city. In Aarhus we had the privilege in 2017, and it was a year, we will never forget.
\n2020 will for sure be a year that will go into history. For Rijeka 2020, the journey, which started a long time ago, has taken an unexpected turn. Hopefully later this year, you will be able to realize some of the beautiful projects, that you have planned for your year.<\/p>\n
In Aarhus we appreciate the friendship and partnership with the European Capitals of Culture. It was a pleasure to experience your opening event firsthand, and I look forward to re-igniting the cultural collaboration across borders, once society re-opens.<\/p>\n
Kind regards,
\nRabih Azad-Ahmad
