Motto: My Šokadija, do not forget that Đakovo has it all!
Interests: collecting, exhibitions, restoring old things, preserving tradition and customs.
About me: Zdenko Šarčević is a famous collector from Đakovo. His first love is Šokadija and his homeland, Slavonia. All year round, his well-known family house in Pavić Street is decorated with ornaments characteristic of the Šokci. The house looks particularly grand during the Đakovo Embroidery Festival, like a small museum where a large collection of old tools, folk costumes and many other objects that belonged to our ancestors can be examined every day. Zdenko also wrote a book about Novi Perkovci, which describes the life and customs of his ancestors and brings them closer to future generations. With the support of his family, Trnava and Stari Perkovci, he continues to work on his new ideas in order to preserve Slavonia’s recognisable identity in Đakovo, the cradle of Šokadija, and to keep it from fading into oblivion.
