ZARCO KAIC (42 yrs old)Kaic believed that "a camera is the only weapon of the unarmed". He paid for this belief with his life. On 28th August 1991, whilst filming for Croatian TV near the front-line position in Osijek, he was shot by a soldier who claimed to have mistaken the camera for a rocket launcher. He left a wife and four children under the age of nine. His widow was forced to rely entirely on the £200 she earned each month as a pharmacist. The Trust awarded the family a grant which enabled them to survive after the death of their main breadwinner. "My children and I appreciate very much the grant received from your Trust. For us it has meant more than a donation. It has meant acknowledgment of Zarco's courage, of his work. It has meant that Zarco's life was not laid down in vain." Mrs. Lidia Kaic
