Gordan Lederer as a secondary school pupil

His premature death prevented him from the realization of two important projects that he had dreamt of:
  • to study the life and customs of Albanian people in the Kosovo region, which he had visited for several times with his colleagues from Zagreb;
  • to describe hundreds of Croatian Middle Age churches using his camera (Gordan studied archaeology at the Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb).
