Mountain Rescue Service issues warning about demanding conditions in mountains

Ljubljana, 10 April - The Mountain Rescue Service called a press conference Sunday afternoon to issue a serious warning about the conditions in the mountains, following a gruelling seven-hour rescue mission. While there are still winter conditions at high altitudes, the approach of spring makes the snow blanket very unstable and sometimes it is better not to head out.
