Zenon Lenczewski, who is 75, is working on his MA thesis in Croatian studies.

In addition to his normal course of lectures and tutorials, he is currently on a three-month Erasmus student exchange programme in the former Yugoslavia, conducting research on the role of graffiti art in modern society.

Despite sweltering heat, Lenczewski has been to several Croatian cities—including Zagreb, Vinkovci, Osijek, Našice, Đakovo, Virovitica and Vukovar—and he has also visited the Serbian capital of Belgrade and Sarajevo, the capital of neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina.
