This information was also confirmed to Tanjug by the Serbian Ambassador to Switzerland, Ivan Trifunovic.
"We learned this from his family, but we still do not have official confirmation from the Swiss police. His family received this information through DNA analysis, and it is unfortunately certain that he has passed away",Trifunovic said.
He added that the Swiss newspaper Blick reported eyewitness accounts stating that Ivanovic was repeatedly entering and exiting the club in an attempt to rescue other people.
"It appears that he managed to save several individuals. However, unfortunately, in his final attempt he was unable to get out and he died", Trifunovic said.
He also noted that it was initially believed that the young man, who had been reported missing, was among the four injured Serbian citizens, but this later proved not to be the case.
Trifunovic stated that the Swiss police have now officially confirmed the identities of the four injured Serbian citizens. Two of them have been transferred to Germany for further medical treatment, and the Serbian Embassy is actively assisting one family with logistical support.
"We now have four injured individuals, and unfortunately, Stefan Ivanovic has lost his life", Trifunovic said.
Regarding the injured Serbian nationals, he emphasized that none of them are in life-threatening condition.
"They have sustained burns of varying degrees - some more severe, some less severe - but we have been informed that all of them are out of danger", the ambassador said.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic stated at the annual press conference that Serbia has two goals for 2026: the first, political, is peace and stability; the second is to make 2026 the best year in Serbia’s history, primarily in terms of the economy.
