Dr Branko Franolic

It is with some sadness that we report the passing of prominent Croatian linguist Dr Branko Franolic on 10 January. As many of you know, he was a good friend to CSYPN, and a number of you will recall his lecture in Cambridge back in 2001. CSYPN also co-published his 2008 book on the Croatian language.

An excellent feature on his life by Marcus Tanner can be seen here: http://bit.ly/fHeS2S

There will be a service in his memory at the Croatian church in London on Sunday 30 January. It will begin at 4PM and the address is: Church of Sacred Heart, 112 Horseferry Road, SW1P 2EF. Nearest tube: St. James’s Park. Map: http://bit.ly/fwkIb0

Our thoughts and sympathy go to his family.
