Man dies after falling at festival
12:03pm Saturday 11th July 2009 in
A British man died after falling from a fortress wall in Serbia during an annual music festival, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) said.
The 22-year-old man, identified only as Anthony J. F, died in the Novi Sad hospital from injuries he sustained in the fall.
Thousands of people have arrived in Serbia for the Exit music festival held every summer at the ancient Petrovaradin fortress in Novi Sad.
A spokesman for the FCO said: "We can confirm the death of a British national in Serbia following a fall at a music festival and we are providing consular assistance to the family."
