Vjesnik, 14th August 1991

• The spider’s web, by Tonko Maroevic, writer, Zagreb,
• Gordan Lederer filmed his own death, by Dario Topic, journalist, Osijek.

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).
