The Romanian Red Cross emphasizes that its emblem is not a universal symbol and cannot be used freely.

The National Red Cross Society of Romania issued a statement to clarify the use of its emblem, emphasizing that it is not a simple symbol available to any entity engaged in rescue activities.

The Romanian Red Cross respects the work of Salvamont, but emphasizes that the use of the emblem must comply with national and international legislation. The emblem of the Red Cross has a special legal regime, intended to protect lives in situations of conflict or crisis. The organization refuses to turn the discussion into an emotional conflict and will present its arguments to the competent institutions.

It is also highlighted that the identity of Salvamont can be protected without the use of the Red Cross emblem, demonstrating that mountain rescue services in Europe have managed to build their reputation without this symbol. The Romanian Red Cross will continue to defend its emblem as an internationally recognized symbol, essential in critical moments.
