The operation to rescue a group of Croatian tourists trapped in Maja e Jezerca is continuing, Defense Minister Niko Peleshi said.

Peleshi says in an announcement on social networks that it has been possible to retrieve the dead body of a 43-year-old tourist who died after falling near the lakes.

The Armed Forces, civil emergency teams and local residents have been engaged to help rescue the rest of the group.

Pelesh's post:

A search and rescue team together with the Civil Emergencies helicopter in the Ministry of Defense were engaged today, as soon as they received the notification, alongside the police of Tropoja, to help a group of climbers, who are believed to be Croatian citizens, who have climbed from the territory of Montenegro, to arrive at the place called "Maja e Jezerce".

Unfortunately, one of the members of the group, citizen ZL, 43 years old, had fallen from a steep mountainous and snowy terrain and lost her life.

The search and rescue team has made it possible to extract the dead body and transport it by helicopter to the morgue. While the rescue operation continues to make possible the extraction of other tourists from the place where they are trapped.
