THE MOUNTAIN SALVAGE SERVICE ON DURMITOR
We function as a section in our
PSD (Mountaineering and Sports Society) “Durmitor”. The section
has a membership of some twenty younger people. In the past
five years or so, individually or as a team we secured the
skiing track “Savin kuk”, as well as all skiing events on
that track. In this period we had to take care of some sixty
important accidents, all with success. For many actions we
were cited, and we got many acknowledgements. This last years
our activities are not limited to winter, but are being transferred
to summer months as well, many accidents needing our undivided
attention. We are in a very close cooperation with the police
station in Zabljak, using their experience and very often
their equipment if needed. It must be said with pride that
they never failed us.
Durmitor is ever increasing as a mountaineering destination,
with more and more guests coming here, tourists as well as
mountaineers, nature lovers and many more, every single one
wishing to enjoy the beauty of our wonderful mountain. But
this increase in number of tourists in the massive of Durmitor
is increasing the need for help as well. Every year we send
more and more young people for courses and seminars in Mountain
Salvage which are organized by the Mountain Union of Montenegro
and by The Mountain Salvage Service of Montenegro.
A number of our younger people is educated for the service
of mountain guides. Thus, we are readying ourselves for such
a service, too. We are sure that by being always present in
the mountain, by readying ourselves in every respect, that
we are preventing indirectly and directly possible accidents
in the massive of Durmitor. Further activities are planned
to be: founding of a GSS – Mountain Salvage Station – according
to all international criteria, establishing close cooperation
with such like organizations in our country and abroad. We
are doing everything possible to educate younger people for
salvage duties. We have so far full cooperation with NP “Durmitor”
and with the Montenegro Police. We are planning to by equipment
and technical aids for our Mountain Salvage Station.
And let me say, God forbid, in every moment, night or day,
rain or sunshine, call us, for advice or help. We are here
to stand by, by advice and by way of help.
