Antonini's lifelong friend and colleague Ognjen Alujevic
delivered a valedictory speech on behalf of Dalmacija's
photographers.
"After years of working the theatres of war, Niko lost his
life in peacetime," Alujevic said.
Offering his condolences to Antonini's family, friends and
colleagues, US Ambassador to Croatia Peter Galbraith said Antonini
and the US delegation members had lost their lives on a peace
mission.
"At the Embassy, we will remember him by his photographs of
President Clinton's visit to Zagreb," Galbraith said.
