In Stari trg (Old Square), where ‘Pri Pavli’, one of Ljubljana’s favourite inns used to be, a new inn with the symbolic name ‘Druga violina’ or ‘Second Fiddle’ has opened and will operate as part of the Dolfka Boštjančič Training, Occupation and Care Centre, with staff including people with special needs.

Thus once again Ljubljana’s Stari trg will be full of the aroma of frying potatoes and other traditional Slovenian dishes, which will be brought to the table by young people with special needs from the Dolfka Boštjančič Training, Occupation and Care Centre.

Valerija Bužan, Director of the Training Centre, came up with the idea of such an inn abroad where projects like this are not uncommon. The rent for the restaurant space on Stari trg is for now being paid by long-term sponsor of the Training Centre, the Sunshine House charity.

The Second Fiddle inn on Stari trg was opened on Thursday 28 June 2012 by  Mayor Zoran Janković and the Director of the Dolfka Boštjančič Training, Occupation and Care Centre Valerija Bužan.
