As time passes, more details are emerging about the victims, as well as about the heroic acts that took place during this disaster, the portal reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This media outlet first highlights the heroism of the Serb Stefan Ivanovi\u0107 (31), who worked as security at this bar, otherwise a favorite nightlife spot for the Serbian and Balkan population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is added that Stefan was among the members of the bar\u2019s security staff that evening. When the fire broke out, he first pushed several guests outside, and then returned once more into the flames to save other people. That rescue attempt cost him his life, the text emphasizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-serbiantimes-info wp-block-embed-serbiantimes-info\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"FFoMEC8Fki\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/obistinile-se-crne-slutnje-heroj-stefan-ivanovic-pronadjen-mrtav-ostace-upamceno-da-je-spasavao-ljude-tokom-pozara-u-kran-montani\/\">OBISTINILE SE CRNE SLUTNJE: Heroj Stefan Ivanovi\u0107 prona\u0111en mrtav, osta\u0107e upam\u0107eno da je spa\u0161avao ljude tokom po\u017eara u Kran-Montani!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#132;OBISTINILE SE CRNE SLUTNJE: Heroj Stefan Ivanovi\u0107 prona\u0111en mrtav, osta\u0107e upam\u0107eno da je spa\u0161avao ljude tokom po\u017eara u Kran-Montani!&#147; &#8212; Serbiantimes.info\" src=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/obistinile-se-crne-slutnje-heroj-stefan-ivanovic-pronadjen-mrtav-ostace-upamceno-da-je-spasavao-ljude-tokom-pozara-u-kran-montani\/embed\/#?secret=tZ0eGQjXOb#?secret=FFoMEC8Fki\" data-secret=\"FFoMEC8Fki\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">24 victims identified so far<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Until the very last moment, the family held out hope that Stefan, a Serb who, as stated, had lived in Switzerland for 20 years and held citizenship, was still alive.
