Thursday's exhibition was opened by Croatian Culture Minister Bozo
Biskupic, while addresses were made by Austria's Ambassador to
Croatia, Rudolf Bogner, and the Croatian President's deputy chief-
of-staff, Vesna Skare-Ozbolt. The director of Austria's Culture
Institute in Florence, Joachim Burmeister, also spoke about
Pedit's art.
According to Skare-Ozbolt, Pedit's works will help shed light on
the events in Croatia and other formerly war-affected areas in the
former Yugoslav federation.
The Zagreb exhibition closes on October 10, when it will be
transferred to Dubrovnik in southern Croatia. Prior to Zagreb, the
exhibition was staged in the eastern Croatian towns of Vukovar and
Osijek.
