We promised big news !!! 🇩🇪Min of Def Pistorius pledged €7 million, yes €7m to our Centre. Avoiding bureaucracy, for 2 years our boss worked independently with a handful of people from 🇩🇪Military/MoD on this project. Game-changing success we will pay forward 🇽🇰🤝🇩🇪

The mark of a true leader, Boris Pistorius Our Centre was full of dignitaries & media. Quietly, privately, no glitz or glamour, 🇩🇪 Min of Def Boris Pistorius presented this to our boss & thanked him for his work. The manner & respect made this extra special. 🇽🇰🤝🇩🇪

Great work Clive. We are working on getting some guys from🇧🇦 BiH here in May. The more we work together the better we respond together

A lesson we learned from USAR.NL was the term 'level of difficulty'. It was their idea for us to simulate a multi-storey car park collapse. As well as a over-hanging car, there are 6 others on the ground, including 1 buried upside down International Search and Rescue Advisory Group

A testimonial to share. Whatever the circumstances, whatever the danger, we will come

Our thoughts and prayers with our friends in #Turkiye They endured so much in February 2023 & several events since. Their strength in adversity is humbling 🇽🇰🤝🇹🇷

Out of protocol, Nick's 1st visit in #Kosova was to our Centre. 2019, day after the historic football match between #England & #Kosovo (5-3 to England) & when we had #TRiM training (UK funded) led by The Grenadier Guards legend, Lt Col (Retd) Richard 'Skid' Dorney Strongmind Resiliency Training 🇽🇰🤝🇬🇧

One of Nick's final efforts was securing a UK donation of €30,000 for our Training Centre for #Flood response and #water rescue training equipment. A true friend of our Centre who recognised and supported our vision 🇽🇰🤝🇬🇧

🇩🇪 Federal Minister of Defence Boris Pistorius made a dynamic impact upon us. Not only because of the pledge of Euro 7 million for our Training Centre, but also because of his personality, manner, incisive observations & ability to ignore the gloss & see reality 🇽🇰🤝🇩🇪

Our team have seen you and Vespa in action Deborah, in training & operationally. Inspirational. You have the support of all our Centre #Kosova #Kosovo 🇽🇰🤝🇬🇧

Great post. Without doubt the number of stray dogs wandering around and in packs is a problem and often scary and dangerous. Yet when found abandoned, given a home and love, the loyalty & love they give back is paid back ten fold 🇽🇰❤️🐕

Preparation ongoing to welcome a high-level delegation from 🇩🇪 #Germany We will be showing some of the #SAR equipment donated to us by our #German friends (this is only 50% of it) FIRSTLOOK - FL360 Search & Rescue Camera #Lukas #Scorpe #Petzl
