24/4/15 – Comment – FED UP WITH THE EU AND THEIR LIES.

Posted on April 24, 2015 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

A comment left on the site today – Thank You.

We think these words represent how very many people (campaigners) feel about the EU at this time.

“Animal Welfare advocates across the globe condemn the EU for its negligent lack of follow through pertaining to the egregious acts of animal violence taking place in EU member nations.

The EU’s tacit refusal to uphold it’s own laws and provide oversight and accountability for those EU nations who continually and habitually perpetuate unnecessary acts of violence against animals renders it little more than a shadow organization at best….A JOKE.

Serbia has no business even petitioning for EU membership, but then again, neither did Romania or Spain. The EU has no interest in animal welfare, and little to no interest in human—read HUMANE—progress.

I encourage Mark and other animal welfare advocates in Serbia and regions around the world dealing with the double-speak and corruption of the EU NOT GIVE UP.

We will sign petitions. Make phone calls. Create a human chain of reaction to this ongoing EU madness that they cannot ignore. Please forward all actions necessary.

I speak for tens of thousands—likely MILLIONS of people around the world who are FED UP WITH THE EU AND THEIR LIES”.

Dear Mark;

We’ve been quite lucky weather wise this winter after all, but some of our oldest and sickest kitties sadly didn’t make it through the cold season. Winter is always a time of troubles, losses and grief, it somehow seems the most delicate cats simply can’t endure the dark, gloomy months, depressing for them and ourselves alike.

The biggest problem of running a cat sanctuary is exactly the fact that we provide all of the rescued cats with a lifetime of care, which means we’re here to offer them everything they need until the end of their days and when the time comes, we tearfully pet them for the last time and say our final goodbyes.

Our hearts have been broken countless times so far, but we must go on…

Right now some days are sunny, some are not, but even when the weather is nice the sun is deceiving and although the kitties enjoy spending their time outside during the day, all of them sleep in their properly heated rooms at night.

Luckily, thanks to all of our donors and friends, we’ll be able to keep the central heating running for as long as it’s needed.

Many kitties are shedding these days and looking shaggy and unkempt, some of them have lost some weight, but now when the real spring has finally come we’ll do everything in our power to help them thrive again.

The weather forecast is somewhat worrisome, it’s supposed to rain heavily in May and although the kitties won’t be cold, we all hope to avoid the horrible floods we had last year. Cat Shelter Felix wasn’t affected then, but no one can know what the future can bring…

We greatly appreciate your support!

To Everybody – Thank you so much for being there for us!

Sincerely

Danica

We Are Trying – But Sometimes We get Caught Out. Today Was One Of Those Days !

Posted on February 10, 2015 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Dear all;

In addition to this site; on which EVERYTHING is vetted and approved before posting; we also have an SAV Facebook site with very many ‘animal welfare’ members who put out appeals and requests for help; in addition to showing the excellent work they are doing to help animals in need.

Like this site, SAV Facebook should be completely geared towards helping animals, nothing more, nothing less.

We (at SAV) are provided with new SAV Facebook members requests to join up in advance of final approval. We have certain things to go with, and usually you can get a ‘feel’ for the person wishing to join. Currently on SAV Facebook we have around 1,149 members.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/SerbianAnimalsVoice/

Usaually we do not have any problems and are very keen to welcome new members into the group. But sometimes; at odd times, you do get someone who applies to join; and despite doing what you can by checking them out a bit in advance, they end up joining for reasons other than animal welfare.

Today we have approved 3 new members – 2 of them we are very keen to welcome; but the latest ‘member’ who was approved tonight immediately (within 5 minutes) started to load porno video and footage onto the site.

We hopefully stepped in within a few minutes to remove all the footage from SAV Facebook; and also to block the person from ever posting anything more onto the site.

Yup, tonight we were duped – by someone who obviously has no interest in animal welfare; but who wants to infiltrate and show their pervy videos and footage onto the SAV Facebook site.

Hopefully, within an hour of getting approved; this perv has now been completely blocked from future actions.

You see some come and you see some go – life plays out that way.

But we are trying to do basic checks on people and all requests for membership prior to giving them approval to join the SAV Facebook group. Unfortunately, you always get the odd one who tries to get through in order to put something of no interest to most members onto the site and tonight it happened.

Stick with us; we are trying to validate all people, but sometimes you can be sent a few ‘benders’ to throw you off track during the approval process. But we can deal with it; and as tonight’s new porno info shows, we can and will take action to remove it asap !

We continue to always welcome new SAV Facebook members requests to join up – we try to deal with them on the same day as the request was made. So keep on; don’t let this event put anyone off – as we say; people who try to infiltrate for reasons other than animal welfare issues will be blocked as soon as we are able !

I hope this gives you an insight into what we are trying to do on SAV Facebook.We will always continue to welcome new animal welfare supporters to the site; so contact us if you wish to join.

Regards Mark

For all your ANIMAL WELFARE issues !!

In 2013 the EU Provided Serbia With 208 Million Euros To Ensure Application of the ‘Rule of Law’, ‘Guaranteeing Democracy’, Ensuring ‘Human Rights’. Why Then Has the Serbian Government Failed With the ‘Nani’ Deer Campaign ???

Posted on October 27, 2014 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Nani Deer Update 27/10/14.

Firstly, the situation is that there are still currently no changes in the situation for Nani.

Despite this, we are overwhelmed with the first day response to our new petition; which can be signed at: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/662/345/316/ – please pass on to all your contacts and ask them to spread the word about how the Serbian government is betraying giving Nani her freedom back with Mrs. Tadic.

Today, 27/10/14, we have been in telephone conversation with the EU Enlargement Commission regarding Nani and Serbia’s application to become an EU member state.

Please check the following for more information:

http://ec.europa.eu/enlargement/countries/detailed-country-information/serbia/index_en.htm

http://ec.europa.eu/enlargement/instruments/funding-by-country/serbia/index_en.htm

With regard the above second link, it is interesting to note:

Serbia – financial assistance

Funding allocation from the EU for 2013: €208.3 million.

EU assistance focuses on:

Justice/home affairs – efficient judicial system, fight against organised crime and corruption.

Public administration reform – at local and central government level.

Social development – social inclusion (especially of the Roma population), employment, human resources development and human rights.

Environment & energy – nature conservation, water and air quality, waste management, climate action, renewables, energy efficiency and security.

So, the EU gives Serbia over 200 million Euros in 2013, part of which is the fight against organised crime and corruption, as well as human rights; and today we see the Serbian Agriculture Minister still refusing to implement Serbian animal welfare legislation regarding Nani deer after 88 days, when she originally was required by law to respond within 30 days !

Serbian welfare campaigners are today continuing to contact both the Ministry of Agriculture and also the Ministry associated with the police – who took Nani from Mrs. Mitic and handed her back to the hunters. So much for the above – Justice/home affairs – efficient judicial system, and the fight against organised crime and corruption.

It was the police who undertook unlawful action in support of the hunters on 1/8/2014; instead putting pressure on and taking away the human rights of normal Serbian citizens such as Mrs. Mitic who was at the time caring for Nani.

Also, we question the veterinary inspector who prepared an unlawful official report in opposition to to Article 79 of the law for animal welfare. Mrs. Mitic has personally now commenced action (on 10/8/2014) regarding the authorities to ignore the requiremnts of Article 58 of Serbian law.

So we ask once again as EU citizens, with the EU giving away OUR MONEY, where is the Justice/home affairs – efficient judicial system, and the fight against organised crime and corruption that members of the EU tax paying public have given €208.3 million to Serbia for in 2013 ???

It is a basic requirement of any future EU member states to ensure that during their application process, there is proof to the EU Enlargement Commission that the national ‘rules of law’ are being applied by in this case, Serbia. We are failing to see this; certainly in the case of Nani where the minister for Agriculture has still not made any decisions at day 88, when she had originally 30 days by law to decide !

We have reminded the EU Enlargement Commission of the current situation during our telephone conversation today.

The solution to the case of Nani is a very simple one – remove Nani from the hunters and return her to Mrs. Mitic for her forever keep and welfare.

Finally we would like to thank over 600 supporters who have already signed our save Nani petition in the first 24 hours. We are proud of you all – thank you from Nani and the ‘Save Nani’ team.

On 28/10 we move into day 89 of still not having any decision from a Serbian government minister regarding Nani; or especially her compliance with Serbian law which requires her to complete a decision within 30 days.

As can be seen from our petition; http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/662/345/316/ many people in many nations around the globe are now fully aware of the situation regarding Nani the baby deer and the failure of the Serbian government to apply the fundamental rules of law which are a requirement for EU membership.

We now wait for a new day and see what happens on 28/10.

Regards – the ‘Save Nani’ team – Serbia and England, UK.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlargement_of_the_European_Union

“(EU) Membership requires that candidate country has achieved stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights, respect for and protection of minorities, the existence of a functioning market economy as well as the capacity to cope with competitive pressure and market forces within the Union. Membership presupposes the candidate’s ability to take on the obligations of membership including adherence to the aims of political, economic and monetary union“. – Excerpt from the Copenhagen Presidency conclusions.

The ‘Rule of Law’

The rule of law (also known as nomocracy) is the legal principle that law should govern a nation, as opposed to arbitrary decisions by individual government officials. It primarily refers to the influence and authority of law within society, particularly as a constraint upon behavior, including behavior of government officials. The phrase can be traced back to 16th century England, and it was popularized in the 19th century by British jurist A. V. Dicey. The concept was familiar to ancient philosophers such as Aristotle, who wrote “Law should govern”.

The Rule of law implies that every citizen is subject to the law, including law makers themselves.

And as far as we are aware that also includes Serbian Agriculture Ministers !!

Is this above the case with the Nani situation ??

FREE NANI FROM THE HUNTERS NOW !!

Return her to Mrs. Mitic Immediately !!

Serbia: YOUR HELP NOW NEEDED To Write To International Serbian Embassies Global. Sample Letter and Contact Details Provided Below. Please Write and Be A Voice for Nani Today !

Posted on October 22, 2014 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

UPDATED 24/10/14 – New Photos and Letters

For other global articles and issues, please scroll down to ‘Latest Posts’ on the right side.

This post is going to remain as the first main post on the site at present; and will be updated as necessary.

We are still in the situation where the Serbian Minster (Photo below) is not making any decision regarding Nani.

zahtevHITNONaniHITNO29.9.14.MinPolj.da.ne,doc

Zalba23.10.14.Ministar,NaniLane

So now we have to move on further with our campaign to free Nani deer and return Nani to Mrs. Mitic.

WE NEED YOUR HELP HERE TO GO GLOBAL FOR NANI.

The following links provide access to all Serbian embassies around the world.

http://embassy.goabroad.com/embassies-of/serbia

http://www.embassypages.com/serbia

http://www.mfa.gov.rs/en/embassies/serbian-diplomatic-missions/serbian-embassies

To take action for Nani, please find your national Serbian embassy from the list provided above.

Check out e mail contact details on how to write to them at the specific embassy.

Then copy the following sample letter and all the attachment links which follow it.

Please send the letter and the links to your own national Serbian embassy.

Every embassy has a legal requirement to return the issues that it has had correspondence about back to the government in Serbia. We need to show the Serbian government that the ‘Nani campaign’ has now gone global and that Serbian Minister of Agriculture, Mrs Bogosavljevic Boskovic who originally had 30 days for acting in agreement to, and implementing Article 58 of Serbian Law for Animal Welfare has still taken no action in double this period.

As the Serbian Minister cannot enforce existing Serbian law, Serbia should thus not be allowed to become an EU member state.

http://ec.europa.eu/enlargement/countries/detailed-country-information/serbia/index_en.htm

The sample letter can also be copied to the EU Enlargement Commission at:

http://ec.europa.eu/enlargement/about/directorate-general/index_en.htm

http://ec.europa.eu/enlargement/news_corner/your-opinion/index_en.htm

SAMPLE LETTER TO COPY AND SEND TO SERBIAN EMBASSIES

– Also include the links given at the end.

Dear Sir / Madam;

I am writing with the wish that my views are immediately returned to the government of Serbia – please ensure that this information is passed on.

For many weeks now a young deer named ‘Nani’ has been illegally held within Serbia by hunters who are involved with corrupt Serbian state police officials. Nani deer was being cared for by a lady called Mrs. Mitic after the mother of the deer was shot and killed by these hunters.

The Serbian Minister of Agriculture, Mrs Bogosavljevic Boskovic originally had 30 days for acting in agreement to, and implementing Article 58 of Serbian Law for Animal Welfare; to enforce action and return Nani to the care of Mrs. Mitic. She has not done this and we are now around 70 days late in having action from the Serbian Minister. Still she does nothing.

What has she got to hide ? – why is she so incompetent that she is not able to enforce existing Serbian animal welfare law ? – she is supposed to be qualified in laws associated with animals and animal science.

Any sensible person would know that Nani must immediately be returned for permanent residence with Mrs. Mitic.

Members of the European parliament (MEP’s) have already been informed of the ignorant attitude of Serbian Minister of Agriculture, Mrs Bogosavljevic Boskovic in this case regarding Nani.

Minister Mrs Bogosavljevic Boskovic IS NOT enforcing existing Serbian law on animal welfare; ie. Implementing Article 58; thus I consider that Serbia and the Serbian government are not enforcing implementation of the ‘rule of law’ (within Serbia); this enforcement being a fundamental requirement to be shown by any member state seeking EU accession (membership).

Thus I am left with no option now but to inform my political representatives that Serbia is not worthy of EU membership until Serbian Minister of Agriculture, Mrs Bogosavljevic Boskovic acts positively; makes an immediate decision that Nani deer must immediately be returned to Mrs. Mitic permanently.

The name of Serbia has already been tarnished by the inaction of Minister Mrs Bogosavljevic Boskovic.

So now, until she acts the correct way and releases Nani permanently back to the care of Mrs. Mitic; I will campaign to ensure that Serbia, which is not enforcing its own legislation (the rule of law); is kept out of becoming an EU member state.

Serbian Minister of Agriculture, Mrs Bogosavljevic Boskovic – Act immediately – free Nani deer !

Yours

Name and nationality.

Serbia: New ‘Nani’ Deer Pictures and Videos From 20/9 and 22/9 2014.

Posted on September 24, 2014 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

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.

————————————————————————————

Contact e mail – Serbian Prime Minister, Mr.Aleksandar Vucic.

His e mail address is

predsednikvlade@gov.rs

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:

https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/2014/09/23/serbia-its-not-just-about-humanity-here-there-is-no-trace-of-it-here/

“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 ????
