“While filming the TV show “Goranac je Goranac”, I visited the Šar mountains (Kosovo & Metohija), where the Gorani ethnic group have lived since the 14th century. Desiring to pass on my knowledge to the public, who have misconceptions about this small ethnic group, I created 2000 photos. I selected photos depicting the people, their folklore and way of life.” – Branko Pelinović
“Gora has braved all ordeals and has endured and lived to be visited by our Branko Pelinović and made immortal by his inimitable talent. The photographs are more expressive and descriptive than the best chosen words. For instance, one such photograph – of a Gorani shepherd – is one of the best photographs I have ever seen. It was on the wall in my office in the diplomatic mission in Ankara and, believe me, it never failed to move my visitors, who were invariably drawn to it and wanted to know its origin and meaning. The Gorani shepherd immortalised by Pelinović’s discerning and sympathetic camera very often successfully carried out a diplomatic mission.” – Prof. D.Sc. Darko Tanaskovic, Professor at the Faculty of Philology, University in Belgrade
