Here below is a copy in English of a formal Charge to the Serbian authorities regarding the matter of irresponsible owners of dogs and cats; and the men who profiteer from this.
The wording is as translated and supplied directly by Serbian welfare campaigners. It is the translation of the charge made.
Again; as we have seen and been campaigning about for some 10 years or more now, very many authorities in Serbia are doing nothing regarding the sterilisation of stray animals to reduce their numbers over a period of time – basically, a programme for stray animal number reduction in Serbia.
As you can see from our other post today in relation to ‘Nani’ the baby deer – serbiananimalsvoice.com/2014/09/24/serbia-new-nani-deer-pictures-and-videos-from-209-and-229-2014/ – there appears to be a situation of people in power to make decisions in accordance with Serbian legislation, who are in fact bending every rule that they have in their power to avoid being compliant with the law.
Taxpayers money should be invested in a national sterilisation and stray animal number reduction over a period of time. It should not be spent on allowing animals to continue un-sterilised; to continue breeding with owned (also un-sterilised) animals which are still turned out onto the street each day by irresponsible owners. They are irresponsible because they do not have their animals sterilised; and because they turn them onto the streets each day to reproduce with strays – thereby producing more stray animals on a continual basis.
The stray animal situation is a complete scam; a cover up by authorities who continue to spend money rounding up and killing healthy animals, rather than looking to a long term programme of stray animal reduction.
We are fully aware that even animals which have been sterilised with funding from overseas EU organisations; and which have been fitted with an ear ident tag to identify to shinters that they are no threat to increasing animals numbers; are STILL being rounded up; thrown into authority pounds to then be killed at a never ending coast to the taxpayer.
Who allows this ? – the same people who do not make a decision on the future of ‘Nani’ deer; despite regulations and law clearly showing that the decision time has long passed.
Is this the future for the EU and potential new members in future such as Serbia ? – they give the two fingers to the EU and just continue to do what they want using all the powers of corruption which runs the ‘business’ of stray animal management in its current form.
Regardless of the current situation; we will continue to be a voice for stray Serbian animals.
Serbian politicians wish to join the EU; but with a nation which is politically run by corruption; do other existing EU member states want the in the future we have to ask. Look at the current situation in Romania for animals – an EU member state. Fortunately with new seniors at the EU animal welfare Intergroup advising the MEPs who make up the Euro Parliament; we may now start to see some progress for the stray animals of Europe; and, not before time !!
And from Serbian animal welfare campaigners – the current situation:
Here below is the translation of the charge fled by Serbian activists on 22/9/14.
Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2014 6:19 PM
Subject: RE: ! PRIJAVA 22.9.14.!
PREVOD :
Charge filed 22/09/2014 for the organized crime
Urgency to the Charge of 05/09/2014 and Amendment and Extension of that Charge for the conduction to all competent state authorities, because it is a question of economic crime, abuse and mistreatment of a large number of animals in the extended period of time; in the greater part of AP Vojvodina.
Since 14/02/2011, Public Agency for Animal Hygiene, Vrbas has the facility for the accommodation capacity of 150 dogs with the suspicious Decision and without a check list. It is situated in the street Marsala Tita 89, on the cadastral plot number 2839, at the location of the reon 5.
For years this company brings in that facility a large number of dogs from the territory of the City of Novi Sad where there were 2500-3000 new dogs every year in the past decade. It also brings in a large number of dogs from the territory of Vrbas (in the past decade there has been 400 new abandoned dogs every year in Vrbas) and since 13/06/2014 this firm: Public Agency for Animal Hygiene Vrbas signed the contract with the Animal Hygiene Service of the City of Subotica which had 900 new dogs on the streets every year in the past decade. This indicates that all three cities have the same category of people, the one who abandon or throw out the animals they no longer want. This completely suits this company and its associates therefore as of 10/06/2009 NONE of these cities have a legitimate Program to manage and reduce this category of the population that actually supplies this company and enables the entire chain of accomplices in part of Vojvodina the gain of illegal profit along with the abuse of a large number of animals, which is in opposition to the applicable law.
We assume that the firm: Public Agency for Animal Hygiene Vrbas has similar, void contracts with more cities and that is something we want the Ministry of Interior and the Public Prosecutor’s Office to investigate, because it is about obtaining the illegal profit, with the criminal offense of abuse of a large number of dogs (cats are not mentioned so far in the documentation we have) in the entire greater part of AP Vojvodina.
We demand the prompt action, because it comes to living creatures which this firm and its accomplices from other cities in Vojvodina illegally manipulate, and therefore the urgent research and accurate determination of the facts is needed by state authorities who are able to follow the flow of money, as well as the state authorities who are able to follow the fate of the animals who are protected by the Article 7 of the Animal Welfare Law and the Article 269 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia.
We have seen NO answer to this above from Serbian government authorities for the last 10 years;
Serbian political corruption and ignorance of a progressive way forward to a long term solution is the current political way – who is right and who is wrong ?
Will stray animal numbers ever be reduced under the current regime, or will the continued corruption of the system allow animals to suffer indefinitely ???

UPDATE PM 24/9/14 –
As detailed at the end of this post, we have now presented all the following links and information to both EU MEP’s and to senior Presidents of the EU Animal Welfare Intergroup. http://www.animalwelfareintergroup.eu/
We are making the EU fully aware of the current situation in Serbia; and its lack of action for ‘Nani’ deer.
All photographs and video footage have been supplied; basically showing that the existing Serbian authorities are failing in their compliance with existing Serbian animal welfare legislation; namely:
———————————————–
It’s not just about humanity HERE, THERE IS NO trace of it HERE.
In this case the police and hunting associations and inspection services, and the Minister of Agriculture herself violated the laws and the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia and nobody cares.
Fraudulently and with threats they kidnapped the fawn from his foster mom who properly filed a Request under the Article 58 of the Animal Welfare Law.
Republic Veterinary Inspection is in charge but they denied their responsibility and acted only on 8/26/14 after all the urgencies and the phone calls at our expense. Even THEN they impudently and illegally ignored the fact that Dragana Mitic filed a Request under the Article 58 of the Animal Welfare Law to the Ministry of Agriculture and at the hands of the Minister.
Rep. Vet. Inspection did not comply with Article 79, but it had a legal duty to do so.
What do we need inspectors for who either don’t know the laws or are corrupted?
What do we need a Minister for who is silent longer than she is supposed to be and yet we will have to go to Strasbourg to demand human rights if she remains silent and even makes a mistake.
————————————————————————————
Recent Nani deer video links below.
One shows Nani before she was taken by the hunters; having fun with Mrs. Mitic. The other videos show Nani in the hunter compound where she is now being held – still today – weeks after a time when the Serbian government should have made a decision.
Please read the following article from a Serbian campaigner which summarises the current political situation in Serbia:
“It’s not just about humanity HERE, THERE IS NO trace of it HERE.
In this case the police and hunting associations and inspection services, and the Minister of Agriculture herself violated the laws and the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia and nobody cares.
Fraudulently and with threats they kidnapped the fawn from his foster mom who properly filed a Request under the Article 58 of the Animal Welfare Law”.
Still we go on waiting for a gutless Serbian government to actually undertake what Serbian law and regulation s require; and not to simply do what they personally wish to do for their own benefit.
Where is the Serbian ‘rule of law’ that it needs to adhere to to become an EU member state ? – there is lots of corruption in Serbia, but the application of the rule of law ????
Nani video links are as follows:
Recent ‘Nani’ photographs from 20 and 22/9/14 are as follows:
Below – Some of our past SAV posts relating to ‘Nani’; including (first couple of links) a sample letter to copy and send to the Serbian authorities.
Note that you could also include the new video links into the letter if you wish – here again are the four (4) video links:

THE ABOVE INFORMATION IS NOW BEING IMMEDIATELY PROVIDED TO THE EU AUTHORITIES, EU ANIMAL WELFARE INTERGROUP AND ITS PRESIDENTS.
INFORMATION ON NANI FAWN WILL CONTINUE TO BE GIVEN UNTIL THE SERBIAN MINISTRY AND AUTHORITIES COME CLEAN AND ACTUALLY MAKE A DECISION; SOMETHING BY LAW THEY WERE OBLIGED TO DO SEVERAL WEEKS AGO.
THE SOLUTION IS A SIMPLE ON FOR THE SERBIAN AUTHORITIES – FREE NANI DEER AND RETURN TO MRS. MITIC FOR THE FUTURE.

It’s not just about humanity HERE, THERE IS NO trace of it HERE.
In this case the police and hunting associations and inspection services, and the Minister of Agriculture herself violated the laws and the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia and nobody cares.
Fraudulently and with threats they kidnapped the fawn from his foster mom who properly filed a Request under the Article 58 of the Animal Welfare Law.
Is this normal?
This is the fifth fawn confiscated this spring. They held tame fawns in an illegal object, as well as Milos, the roebuck and Susanna, the doe – no sign of any of them.
What kind of government it is that can tolerate this?
Without the analysis of the telephone listings by the Division of Internal Control, Ministry of Internal Affairs accepted the defense of policeman who said that he accidentally happened to be there. Well if he was there by accident, he should not have done anything except to say “good day”. Yet he threatened with criminal charges of 200,000 RSD and a court warrant to search the house if they don’t surrender the fawn to hunters in thirty minutes.
Is that in accordance with the Police Law and the Code of Police?
Hunting inspection is not in charge / responsible for that, yet they acted unlawfully.
Republic Veterinary Inspection is in charge but they denied their responsibility and acted only on 8/26/14 after all the urgencies and the phone calls at our expense. Even THEN they impudently and illegally ignored the fact that Dragana Mitic filed a Request under the Article 58 of the Animal Welfare Law to the Ministry of Agriculture and at the hands of the Minister.
Rep. Vet. Inspection did not comply with Article 79, but it had a legal duty to do so.
What do we need inspectors for who either don’t know the laws or are corrupted?
What do we need a Minister for who is silent longer than she is supposed to be and yet we will have to go to Strasbourg to demand human rights if she remains silent and even makes a mistake.
Nani, the fawn is owned by Dragana Mitic. She received him when he weighted less than 500 grams in a coma. She submitted to the Minister the proof of the fawn origin. He was loved and well looked after, otherwise he wouldn’t survive.
Legality is what we insist on!
There is no trace of the humanity here. We don’t count on humanity here.
Mrs. Minister – act, do not be silent and do not act wrongly.
Fawn’s biological mother is not here because it was killed by hunters who have now confiscated the baby deer, using threats and double-dealing, with the intention to eat him as well as they ate the roebuck Milos. They carried him out and shot him at the pheasant farm’s gate.
And for the others we will see where they are.
It is time for the intervention of the Prime Minister.
Thank you.
SAV comment – the above post is now being sent to the European parliament to inform them that as a potential future member state of the EU; Serbia is NOT enforcing its own existing national laws – a fundamental requirement of proof for any state seeking future accession to the EU.
We will inform EU politicians that Serbia is NOT enforcing its own national laws; and as such, this should be considered strongly for future EU membership application by the Serbian authorities.

SAV comment:
We very much welcome the news that new Intergroup President MEP Mr. Janusz Wojciechowski has established first objectives of the initiatives to develop a legal framework for:
2 issues which are very close to our heart and for which we have campaigned about for many years. We are currently awaiting a response from Commissioner Borg re the 8 hour maximum journey time – see our post at:
https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/2014/09/18/live-exports-eu-live-farm-animal-transport-update-18914/
Hopefully now we may see some real EU action on both these issues which have been greatly overlooked in detail for many years. We welcome the news and efforts made by the Intergroup.
Further, we very much welcome the election of Keith Taylor MEP (South East England) as a vice president of the Intergroup. Keith has given us his support and acted on our behalf with regard being a voice for the strays of Serbia. We also know him well through out live animal transport work of farm animals across the EU and beyond. We know Keith will be an excellent voice for the animals and very much support his election to this new position.
See our past posts re Keith at:
https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/2014/06/02/england-5-more-years-for-keith-and-we-are-delighted/
Above – Keith Taylor MEP (South East England).
No campaign is won overnight despite the views of some. But we regard the above as excellent news which gives us further energy to keep up our campaigning for both European stray animals and also for EU farm animals undergoing long distance transport.
Congratulations to Keith on his position – well deserved !!

A VICTORY For Animals: the New President of the Intergroup on the Welfare and Conservation of Animals within the European Parliament – A Real Activist in Animal Protection!
On Thursday, September 18, after a very tight vote, MEP Janusz Wojciechowski became the President of the Intergroup on the Welfare and Conservation of Animals within the European Parliament.
MEP Wojciechowski is known to animal lovers for his constant involvement in the stray dog situation in Romania and for the action he has taken in order to change this reality.
Following the countless protests at the European Parliament against the dog killings in Romania and against the abusive and cruel situation in public shelters, on December 4, 2013, MEP Wojciechowski initiated and led the first European delegation to Romania with the aim to experience the situation directly through the eyes of the authorities. He had meetings with representatives of ANSVSA (Sanitary- Veterinary and Food Safety National Authority) and with the Mayor of Bucharest. The Romanian authorities assured the members of the delegation that the law for dog management is a law of “adoption, not of euthanasia”, and that “the citizens have access to public shelters” which are totally “transparent and complying with the law”!
Because of the contradictions between the declarations of Romanian authorities and the statements, images and protests received from European citizens, MEP Wojciechowski initiated a second visit on January 28, so that he and the members of the delegation could inform themselves directly on site about the stray dog situation.
The European Delegation found major discrepancies between what the authorities had told them during their first visit and what they found on site during their second visit. Shelter halls are closed to the public (for example on the gate of the public shelter of Slatina’s city hall was written “Private Property. Access denied”). There was no food, no water, no medical care, the animals are in suffering badly, and adoptions are made difficult if not impossible.
MEP Wojciechowski organised some events about the stray dog situation in Romania, the last one being a round-table discussion in the European Parliament, “The Brutal Killing of Dogs in Romania”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmNmbGgEKjY, where he stated that the situation he saw in Romania is horrible, that the Romanian authorities don’t want to stop the brutal killing, that the stray dog management is a business, and that the Romanian authorities have an interest to continue this.
As the President of the Intergroup on the Welfare and Conservation of Animals, MEP Wojciechowski aims to really improve the situation of all animals. The first objective of the initiative is to develop a legal framework for:
“My first task will be organizing a conference on the situation of stray animals in Europe. We need to do more to improve the situation of animals on our continent“– said MEP Wojciechowski.
As vice-presidents, Anja Hazekamp, Marlene Mizzi, Stefan Eck, and Keith Taylor were elected, also known to be dedicated animal activists.

Ein SIEG für Tiere: der neue President der Intergruppe für das Wohlergehen und den Schutz von Tieren
im Europäischen Parlament – ein echter Tierschutz-Aktivist!
Am Donnerstag, den 18. September, wurde mit knapper Mehrheit MEPJanusz Wojciechowski als President der Intergruppe für das Wohlergehen und den Schutz von Tieren im Europäischen Parlament gewählt.
Herr JanuszWojciechowski ist unter Tierliebhabern für seine unermüdliche Beteiligung an der Situation der Streunerhunde in Rumänien bekannt, und für die Aktionen, die er unternommen hat, um diese Realität zu verändern.
Nach zahllosen Protesten beim Europäischen Parlament gegen die Hunde-Tötungen in Rumänien und gegen die qualvolle und missbräuchliche Lage in den öffentlichen Tierasylen, initiierte und leitete Herr Janusz Wojciechowski am 4. Dezember 2013 die erste europäische Delegation nach Rumänien, mit dem Ziel, die Lage dort direkt durch die Augen der Behörden zu erleben. Er traf sich mit Representanten von ANSVSA (Nationale Behörde für Sanitäts-, Veterinär-, und Lebensmittel-Schutz) und mit dem Bürgermeister von Bucharest. Die rumänischen Behörden versicherten den Mitgliedern der Delegation, dass das Gesetz zur Hundeverwaltung ein Gesetz der „Adoption, nicht der Euthanasie“ sei, und dass „die Bürger Zugang zu den öffentlichen Tierasylen haben würden“, die „ total transparent seien und sich an die Gesetze halten“!
Wegen der Widersprüche zwischen den Behauptungen der rumänischen Behörden und den Erklärungen, Bildern und Protesten von europäischen Einwohnern, initiert Herr Janusz Wojciechowski einen zweiten Besuch am 28. Januar, damit er und die Mitglieder der Delegation sich selber direkt informieren und ein Bild von der Situation der Streuner-Hunde machen konnten.
Die europäische Delegation fand bedeutende Diskrepanzen zwischen dem, was die Behörden ihnen bei ihrem ersten Besuch erzählt hatten, und dem, was sie während ihres zweiten Aufenthalts selber erlebten. Die Tierheime sind für die Öffentlichkeit geschlossen (am Tor des öffentlichen Tierheims von Slatina zum Beispiel stand: „Privatbesitz. Zugang verboten“). Es gab kein Futter, kein Wasser, keine medizinische Versorgung; die Tiere leiden fürchterlich, und Adoptionen sind schwierig wenn nicht ganz unmöglich.
MEP Wojciechowskihat mehrere Aktionen für die Situation der Streuner-Hunde in Rumänien organisiert, die letzte war eine Plenums-Diskussion im europäischen Parlament, „Das brutale Töten von Hunden in Rumänien”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmNmbGgEKjY, wo er erklärte, dass die Lage, die er in Rumänien antraf, entsetzlich sei, dass die rumänischen Behörden die brutale Tötung nicht einstellen wollen, dass die Verwaltung der Streuner-Hunde ein lukratives Geschäft sei, und dass die rumänischen Behörden daran interessiert sind, dies weiterzutreiben.
Als President der Intergruppe für das Wohlergehen und den Schutz von Tieren im Europäischen Parlament plant MEP Wojciechowski, die Lage der Tiere grundlegend zu verbessern. Das erste Ziel der Iniziative ist, eine rechtliche Grundlage zu bestimmen für:
Meine erste Aufgabe ist, eine Konferenz zu organisieren über die Lage der Streuner-Hunde in Europa. Wir müssen mehr tun, um die Situation der Tiere auf unserem Kontinent zu verbessern“ – sagte MEPWojciechowski.
Anja Hazekamp, Marlene Mizzi, Stefan Eck und Keith Taylor wurden als Vize-Presidenten gewählt, ebenfalls dafür bekannt, dem Tierschutz gewidmet zu sein.

Little Morgan’s surgeries were scheduled for September 18th, but his right eye started to bleed the evening before and the leaking blood, although not abundant, lasted the entire night.
When we arrived at the vet clinic yesterday, it turned out he actually had a corneal ulcer on that eye, so he was put under general anesthesia and the same surgical procedure which was done on Joca’s injured eye months ago – a third eyelid flap – was performed on Morgan’s right eye as well. The third eyelid has been sewn shut over the eye to bring a healing blood supply to its surface, although it’s questionable whether his vision in this eye even exists, and if it does, whether or not it can be saved.
Even though he appeared normal (despite his problems) before the surgery, he had a hard time enduring the general anesthesia, he began having difficulty breathing and started to wheeze as soon as he was intubated and he nearly died twice on the operating table – luckily, the vet somehow succeeded in resuscitating him both times.
His unskillfully amputated leg and his left eye (which had leaked out already because of an untreated chlamydia infection before I took him in) weren’t even touched as the vets were literally racing against the clock to save his life; Morgan managed to survive the surgery but he’s still in critical condition.
The vet suspects he either has pneumonia, or has been badly beaten or has some serious heart problem and I can’t help wondering if I’ll ever know the truth of what happened to this poor baby in his short life.
For now, he is under antibiotic treatment, he’s being given Longacef and will be getting an X ray as soon as possible because it’s necessary we find out what’s wrong with him before doing anything else.

A huge thank you to all of you who have donated towards his care! Keep this precious baby in your thoughts and let’s hope for the best.
