Mulling over diplomats in danger has jogged my memory of a ghastly diplomatic hunting accident in Tito-era Yugoslavia.

In those innocent times (1970s) the communist regime in Belgrade would organise hunting expeditions for the Diplomatic Corps to echo Tito's own love of killing animals. On one such hunt one Ambassador blasted another with an inadvertent gun-shot and killed him. A grave breach of protocol.

Does anyone from Belgrade know who died and who did the shooting and when this episode occurred? I have a feeling that the then French Ambassador was in one or other category. With the Austrian or Belgian Ambassador in there too. 

Update  a helpful reader tells me that the French Ambassador Pierre Sebija (sp?) was the one killed.
