response: 'Response from the Ministry of Defence

  The Ministry of Defence is aware of the issue of mountain rescue funding, which
  is particularly topical with the increasing number of accidents in the mountains.
  In order to avoid penalties and to ensure a comprehensive systemic regulation of
  this area and stable funding, we have already held a meeting in mid-September with
  the Slovenian Mountaineering Association, the Mountain Rescue Association of Slovenia
  and the Slovenian Insurance Association on a long-term regulation of mountain rescue
  funding.

  Based on the meeting, the Slovenian Protection and Rescue Administration is preparing
  an idea for a possible new funding arrangement and the Insurance Association will
  prepare a proposal, taking into account all insurance standards.

  We are also studying good practices from Switzerland and Austria, which will be
  adapted to the Slovenian insurance situation and the way of rescue in the mountains
  and in difficult terrain.

  As the financing of mountain rescue is already at the planning stage, we do not
  consider it appropriate to consider this proposal.'
