| Cave rescue |
|
| In Serbia we do not have organized cave rescue, compareable to those in countries where caving is well developped. Currently, with the aid from foreign cave rescue organizations, cavers from clubs members of SSOS are creating the core of our future cave rescue. Besides that, the Mountaineering Association of Serbia has a Mountain Rescue Squad , with the equipement and some training for cave rescue.
