Frank G. Wisner, an American diplomat, died Monday at the age of 86 in Mill Neck, New York. He served as ambassador to four countries and was the U.S. envoy to the Kosovo status talks.
The cause of death is believed to have been complications from lung cancer, his son David Wisner reported.
Wisner became a State Department official in 1961 and worked during the Vietnam War, joining a diplomatic circle that grew in stature that included his friends Richard Holbrooke, who helped negotiate an end to the war in Bosnia, and Leslie Gelb, who became a journalist and chaired the Foreign Affairs Committee.
For a few hours in January 1993, the day of Clinton's first inauguration, Wisner served as acting Secretary of State.
Wisner was the United States' Special Representative in the negotiations on the status of Kosovo, an effort that proved successful, although Wisner complained that Serbia still refused to recognize Kosovo's independence.
