CroatiaMembers of the HGSS (Hrvatski Gospodarski Savez, Croatian Economic Association) from Makarska spent another night on Biokova during a rescue operation after a foreign citizen got lost while descending from the peak of Sveti Ilija at 1,642 meters above sea level. The incident was reported to the emergency center at 9:28 PM, and eight rescuers located the person at 1:04 AM. The operation concluded with the return to base at 4:30 AM. Following the intervention, HGSS issued a warning about increasingly frequent situations where hikers go on trips completely unprepared. They emphasized the lack of sufficient water, proper lighting, appropriate footwear, and accurate time and ability assessments. HGSS reiterated their commitment to responding to emergencies but urged hikers to avoid unnecessary interventions through basic preparation. They advised checking if they have enough water, carry a flashlight, wear suitable clothing, know the return route, and have adequate time and strength for a safe descent.
