BRUSSELS, Dec 5: Serbia’s ambassador to Nato jumped to his death from a multi-storey car-park at Brussels airport, officials said on Wednesday, and Serbia said it was investigating the incident.

Branislav Milinkovic, 52, jumped to his death during a conference of Nato foreign ministers, but officials did not make any connection between the meeting and his suicide.

“We are shocked and we are investigating all circumstances” surrounding the ambassador’s death, said a Serbian Foreign Ministry official who asked not to be named. “We have no clues about what could prompt Milinkovic to do that. He was a good man,” the official said.—Reuters
