The ATC believed the plane was out of it's holding pattern when it was really in it thus the ATC told the plane to descend, this was the Inex-Adria's first flight to France so the crew were inexperienced which made them believe the ATC so they descended. The airport had no radar system and the clouds in the area obscured vision, the ATC's imprecise phrasing was also a factor in the crash.
