Search and rescue operation underway: The area is being searched with the help of a helicopter
Police and mountain rescue teams are conducting a search operation for a missing 19-year-old Serbian citizen who set out alone toward Mount Triglav on Saturday, October 31. Authorities were notified on Sunday evening that the hiker was stuck in high-altitude terrain near Plemenice, but initial helicopter rescue attempts were aborted due to strong winds and increased cloud cover. On Monday, rescuers located personal belongings belonging to the missing person at an elevation of 2,130 meters while navigating difficult and precipitous terrain using standard mountaineering equipment. Investigators later observed footprints in the snow leading down to approximately 1,900 meters before they became obscured by wind-blown conditions. The ongoing search, coordinated by the Bovec Police Station, has expanded to include a police helicopter from the Ljubljana air base carrying both police officers and mountain rescue personnel.
