Serb Missing in Horrific Switzerland Fire, Family Pleads for Anyone with Information to Come Forward!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p><strong><em>Stefan Ivanovi\u0107 (31), a Serb originally from Valjevo, is listed as missing following the horrific fire that broke out during the 2026 New Year\u2019s celebration at a bar in Crans-Montana, a popular tourist center in Switzerland. Over 40 people perished in the disaster. Stefan was working as security at the bar &#8220;Le Constellation.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stefan\u2019s worried family says they have yet to receive any information from the Serbian Embassy or local authorities. One Serb who also lives and works in Crans-Montana told <em>Serbian Times<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 &#8220;Stefan is a guy who has lived and worked in Switzerland for over 20 years, and I met him when I first arrived here. Last night he was at his workplace, working security at the bar. This morning, word spread among our people that he was missing; he wasn\u2019t answering his friends&#8217; calls, so they began to fear the worst. We still have no information about him. I also know that he holds dual citizenship.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bar &#8220;Le Constellation,&#8221; which burned down for reasons still officially undetermined, was a favorite social spot for our people living in Crans-Montana and surrounding areas, and several of our compatriots worked there occasionally during the winter season. Stefan Ivanovi\u0107 was among them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, Stefan\u2019s sister-in-law contacted the editorial office of <em>Telegraf<\/em>. She stated that the entire family is worried and hoping for positive news, pleading for anyone with any information about Stefan to reach out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A glimmer of hope<\/strong> for the family lies in the fact that Stefan&#8217;s mobile phone was still reachable for several hours after the tragedy, leading them to hope that he is alive and being cared for somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a reminder, <strong>47 people<\/strong> are currently reported dead in the explosion and fire at the Swiss ski resort, with more than 100 people injured. The explosion occurred around 1:30 AM local time. While the cause remains unknown, pyrotechnics are the primary suspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Text:<\/strong> Serbian Times | <strong>Photo:<\/strong> Facebook<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stefan Ivanovi\u0107 (31), a Serb originally from Valjevo, is listed as missing following the horrific fire that broke out during the 2026 New Year\u2019s celebration at a bar in Crans-Montana, a popular tourist center in Switzerland.
