It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to our dear friend and colleague, Neven Stipica. For over 30 years, Neven brought light and inspiration to our Centre, becoming far more than a team member—he was its very heart and soul. His exquisite command of languages infused unparalleled eloquence and sophistication to our work, leaving an enduring legacy in advancing sustainability across the Mediterranean.
Neven's warmth, humor, kindness and meticulous attention to detail were truly unmatched. He had an extraordinary ability to bring people together, naturally becoming the center of attention through his genuine care and boundless enthusiasm for life. He loved us all, and we loved him deeply.
The suddenness of this loss is almost too much to comprehend. Too sudden – too soon.
Neven, thank you for your laughter, your wisdom, and the countless cherished memories you have left with us. You will forever remain in our hearts.
We love you, our dear Neven. Rest in peace.
