At the height of the tourist season, only some of the fifteen beaches in Struga have lifeguards.

This means that the security on the coast of Struga is at a very low level this summer.

With the increase in temperatures, an increase in the number of visitors to the beaches is expected.

Another problem is that the lake is not properly marked as to how far swimmers can go.

Recently, Lake Ohrid took the first victim in Struga, a 66-year-old man was found near a tourist complex in Struga, where there are no rescuers.

In Struga there are no lifeguards even on some of the most attractive beaches.

Even in Ohrid, out of over thirty beaches, only eight have lifeguards and this is on the beaches that are located in front of hotel facilities.

In the rest of the beaches that are not managed by anyone, there are no lifeguards.

"I appeal to the competent institutions, be it the Ministry of Transport and Communications, the local self-government, those beaches that are not insured, that are not managed by anyone with them and are under the competence of the local government, to put up the relevant signs that will show swimmers that safe conditions have not been created, that the beach is not marked and that there are no lifeguards", said Sasho Tochkov - chairman of the Red Cross - Ohrid.

From the beginning of July, the rescue teams in Ohrid have had an intervention to extract a drowned person from the lake waters and over 25 first aid interventions on the beach./Alsat/
