Branka Primorac
is a writer, journalist, editor, and photographer.
She was born in Zagreb, and raised as an only child by her mother – a young widow; her father died before she was even two years old.
Still, she remembers her childhood as bright and joyful spent with the neighbourhood kids from Trešnjevka – Kate Dumbović Street (now B. Adžije), Kranjčevićeva Street, and Nova Cesta where she went to primary school.
Her Grammar School was the closest on Dobojska Street, near Trešnjevka Square. That was the very first secondary school to introduce class testing: it was a modern institution both with its building and teaching methods.
