Hi,

Scroll down please – there is an English version of the letter following the Serbian one.

And it is very important to know- everybody must know these :

Article 269. of Criminal code of Serbia ,Official gasette  number  121/2012 : has 3 paragraphs:

1) paragraph: to human/humans  who cruel or kill 1 animal  in opposite to rule of law:  up to 1 year prison or money punishment;

2) paragraph: to human who  cruel more then 1 animal, or even  only 1 but if that one is of high protection/protected species:  this paragraph 2) of  Article 269. demands: up to 3 years prison or money-punishment;

3) paragraph of Article 269.  who organises or watchches or act  animal fighting between animals of one or of different species:   would be punish by up to 3 years prison.

( You can find  this law by Google.com if  You write this:

Krivicni zakonik Srbije ,  find number 121/2012, there  You  could find Article  269. ( Clan 269.  with  paragraphs 1), 2), 3)

it is  the latest version of this Law , valid  from 24.12.2012.

p.s.

I fight very hard ,and almost 24h per day, every day, on behalf of EPAR-OIPA , short, name of my organisation is EPAR,  and it  fights against shinters, hunters, veterinary inspections, hunter inspections, public attorneys, and all those of authorities of State Serbia  and  cities of Serbia  who dont implement laws, as at my city Subotica, as all over Serbia too.

Serbia has good laws , and many good people  who deep suffer  because these criminals – but inspections and  authorities don`t implement laws, because high level of corruption.

Also, there are many organisations and  single  people who fight – but  Corruption is very hard Enemy .

Regards

SERBIAN Letter

Pisem vam da izrazim svoju zabrinutost zbog porasta slucajeva zlostavljanja i ubijanja zivotinja u Srbiji.

U mnogim gradovima sirom Srbije, skoro svakodnevno, pojedinci namerno truju pse i macke bez vlasnika. Tokom proslog meseca vise desetina vlasnika takodje je obavestilo nadlezne organe da su njihovi ljubimci otrovani.

Vest o psu iz Borce, kome je odrana koza, uzasnula je ljubitelje zivotinja sirom sveta.

U Novom Sadu nedavno je otkriven ugljensan les macke, a u ovom gradu neko takodje bezdusno ubija i golubove.

Jos jedna zrtva je macka Zvezdana iz Beograda, kojoj je neki monstrum odsekao zadnje sape.

Poslednji slucaj zlostavljanja zivotinja dogodio se 22. februara 2013 godine. Dva psa su brutalno ubijena u Barajevu, a iza njih je ostalo osam stenaca na ulici.

http://www.telegraf.rs/vesti/557388-bezdusno-ubijena-dva-psa-u-barajevu-osam-stenaca-ostalo-na-ulici

Jedno od najbrutalnijih ubistava dogodilo se u novembru 2012 godine na pijaci u Zemunu, kada je Vujica K. lopatom ubio cetiri steneta. Tada se niko se nije usudio da mu pridje. Policija ga je privela i posle saslusanja pustila da se brani sa slobode.

http://www.alo.rs/vesti/hronika/stenci-cvileli-dok-ih-je-ubijao-lopatom/5006

Svi gore navedeni primeri upucuju na to da je nasilje nad zivotinjama u velikom porastu u Srbiji. Nazalost, nema odgovarajucih kazni za pocinioce ovih monstuoznih dela!

26. februara 2013. Osnovni sud u Čačku osudio je Borivoja Obradovića, za ubistvo dva psa sekirom (od kojih je jadna bila skotna kuja) na novcanu kaznu od 60.000 dinara. Samo sudski troškovi koje Obradovic treba da plati su veci i iznose 61.390 dinara. Za ovaj zlocin, prema Zakonu, mogao je da bude osudjen na godinu dana!

http://www.pressonline.rs/info/hronika/263974/kaznili-ga-sa-60000-dinara-zbog-ubistva-psa.html

Ako pojedinci koji su pocinili ovako okrutne zlocine prodju nekaznjeno, ili sa neadekvatnom kaznom, jasno je da u buducnosti mogu da izvrse nasinje i zlocine nad ljudima.

Prema Clanu 269 Krivicnog zakonika, zlostavljanje i ubijanje životinja je krivično delo. Nadlezni organi Srbije moraju postovati Zakon i poslati jasnu poruku da se nasilje nad zivotinjama ne tolerise, i da ce pocinioci ovih dela snositi ozbiljne zakonske posledice.

U Evropskoj uniji se zivotinje smatraju svesnim, osecajnim bicima i tretiraju se sa postovanjem. Evropa zbog etickih i kulturnih razloga, kao i zbog ekonomskih i zdravstvenih, ima veoma visoke standarde kada je rec o dobrobiti zivotinja. AKO SRBIJA ZELI DA ZASLUZI STATUS KANDIDATA ZA EU, ONA MORA DA SE SUPROTSTAVI ZLOSTAVLJANJU ZIVOTINJA I POCNE DA IZRICE OSTRE KAZNE ZA OVE ZLOCINE.

Molim Vas da zastitite gradjane i zivotinje u Srbiji tako sto cete pojedince koji ubijaju neduzne zivotinje ubuduce kaznjavati adekvatnim zatvorskim kaznama.

Hvala na paznji i sto cete uzeti u razmatranje navedeno u ovom pismu.

S postovanjem

ENGLISH VERSION:

I am writing to express my deep concern about increasing animal cruelty in Serbia.
In many Serbian cities, almost daily, some people are deliberately poisoning dogs and cats without owners. During the last month, several dozen owners also reported that their pets were poisoned.

The news about the brutally murdered dog in Belgrade, whose skin was removed from the body, horrified animal lovers across the globe.
http://www.nadlanu.com/pocetna/info/vesti/SVIREPO-Odrao-kozu-psu-i-bacio-ga-pored-kontejnera-u-Borci-UZNEMIRUJUCE-FOTOGRAFIJE.a-168603.295.html

In Novi Sad recently was discovered the charred body of a cat.  Also in this town someone is heartlessly killing pigeons.

Another victim was a two month old kitten from Belgrade, to whom some monster cut off the back paws.
http://www.blic.rs/Vesti/Beograd/344942/Beogradjanka-spasla-mace-kojem-su-odsekli-zadnje-sape

The last atrocity against animals happened 22 February 2013. Two dogs were brutally murdered in the Belgrade municipality of Barajevo. Eight puppies left on the street without mothers.
http://www.telegraf.rs/vesti/557388-bezdusno-ubijena-dva-psa-u-barajevu-osam-stenaca-ostalo-na-ulici

One of the most severe cases of animal cruelty took place in November 2012 at the market in Zemun, where Vujica K. with a shovel killed four puppies. No one dared to approach him. Police detained Vujica K. but after a hearing, he was released to defend himself from freedom.
http://www.alo.rs/vesti/hronika/stenci-cvileli-dok-ih-je-ubijao-lopatom/5006

Sad examples above show that there is increasing violence across Serbia. Unfortunately, there are no real consequences for people who committed these monstrous crimes!

26th February 2013 – the Court in the Serbian town of Cacak sentenced Borivoja Obradovic for killing two dogs with an axe (one of them was pregnant) to the fine of 60,000 dinars. Fines that Obradovic must pay to the court are of 61.390. For this crime, by the Serbian Law, possible imprisonment is up to one year!

http://www.pressonline.rs/info/hronika/263974/kaznili-ga-sa-60000-dinara-zbog-ubistva-psa.html

To allow individuals guilty of perpetrating such cruel acts to go unpunished, or not be sufficiently punished, would permit them to go on to commit serious and violent crimes against humans.

SPECIFICALLY BY ARTICLE 269 OF THE SERBIAN CRIMINAL LAW, ABUSE AND KILLING OF ANIMALS IS A CRIME!

Serbians authorities must act by the Law and send a clear message that such brutal crimes will not be tolerated, and there are serious consequences for people who commit them.

The EU recognizes animals as sentient beings and treats them with respect. There are ethical and cultural reasons, without for one moment forgetting the economic and public health reasons, for maintaining a very high standard of animal welfare!

IF SERBIA WANTS TO GET THE CANDIDATE STATUS RECOMMENDATION FOR THE EU, MUST STOP THE ACCEPTANCE OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS AND ENFORCE A POLICY OF HARSH PUNISHMENT FOR THESE CRIMES.

Please protect the citizens and animals of Serbia by giving these animal killers serious jail time.

Thank you for your valuable time and consideration

Respectfully
