The advanced search and rescue training program has been completed at the International Search and Rescue Training Center, operating under the National Guard Command.
According to the Kosovo Security Force (KSF), the two-week training was aimed at enhancing the participants’ professional knowledge and skills for search and rescue operations in challenging terrain.
The program included both theoretical and practical components, focusing on anchoring systems, bolting techniques, rope systems, victim evacuation, mountaineering techniques, and other specialized procedures.
At the conclusion of the training, a 72-hour exercise was conducted in the Rugova area, where participants put the techniques they had learned into practice through simulated search and rescue scenarios.
A total of 16 KSF members successfully completed the program and received certification.
The KSF emphasized that such training contributes to strengthening professional capabilities and operational readiness to respond to emergency situations and operate in difficult terrain.
