The mountain rescue service is in a critical situation, with only 326 rescuers employed nationwide, unable to cope with the increased demands. The main problem is attracting new rescuers and the lack of adequate compensation for the risks taken. The work is plagued by a complex bureaucratic system, and the organization is calling on the government to take urgent action to improve the operational structure and recognize the risks associated with the work. This includes increasing staff and ensuring ongoing training.
