was treacherrously murdered on 9th August 1991,
by a mercenary gang of Chetniks while holding a camera in
his hand, and that, thanks to the Chetnik collaborator,
General Raseta, he was denied any chance of survival.

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). 
    •
