The brown bear cub, which was left at the gate of the Animal Shelter in the village of Blizna by an unknown person at the end of July, is still on that property near Podgorica, according to unofficial sources of "Vijesti".
In the meantime, it is a match, at the invitation of the owner Miljan Milickovic to make suggestions, the name Đuro was given to the voices of visitors who follow profiles on social networks of the Reception Center.
From the Administration for Food Safety, Veterinary and Phytosanitary Affairs (UBHVFP), except in August, when they confirmed that the match was on the Miličković estate, they did not respond to new inquiries from "Vijesti", among other things, whether veterinary inspectors, veterinarians and other persons they visit the property, how often and what are the reports in relation to the health and other conditions of the young bear.
They were also asked about the raffle to name the mosque. The prize draw, according to data from the Shelter's Instagram profile, was organized on August 13.
"A new member of our park... A brown bear cub... You can send your suggestions for his name in the comments of this post... The winning proposer will become our godfather," it was announced at the time.
"News" is the Administration, which is headed by him Vladimir Djakovic, sent questions about the conditions in which the animal lives, the health condition of the older bear Ljub, as well as whether there is a certain solution for the match and how the animal will be taken care of.
According to unofficial information and judging by photos and videos from the property that were provided to the newsroom, both the cub and the older bear are staying in a cage, at least for a while.
For the elder, Ljub, the owner of the property announced at the end of April that his new home will be a reserve of 8.400 square meters. The "Vijesti" source, however, claims that Ljubo stayed in the cage he was in before the arrival of the mosque even during September.
The management was also asked whether there are bears in captivity in other locations in Montenegro, where and how many individuals, what age and condition.
A brown bear cub, seven months old at the time, was left in a transporter by an unknown person at the gate of Miljan Miličković's estate in the village of Blizna at the end of July.
As they told "Vijesta" from the UBHVFP earlier, he informed the Administration about it.
As they told "Vijesta" at the time, Miličković stated in the notification "that on the night between July 30 and 31, a wooden improvised transporter with a brown bear cub with an estimated age of seven months was found at the entrance gate of the shelter, on a public area." , that the cub "was found in good physical condition, with no visible signs of damage to physical integrity, assuming that the animal was raised as a pet".
The Administration then said that they had informed the Environmental Protection Agency, the police and the Hunting Directorate about everything.
At that time, the Environmental Protection Agency of Montenegro (EPA) sent the initiative to the inspection and stated that the cub was "obtained illegally", and that the bear "cannot ... stay with a person who does not meet the conditions, not he has the permits... and the knowledge to take adequate care of that animal".
Milicković never answered the questions of "Vijesti" regarding the brown bear cub.
The first official information about the fact that there is a new deer on the property in the village of Blizna, along with a photo, was published on August 2 by the organization "Animal Survival International" (ASI). As they announced at the time, they discovered this the day before.
"And we are urgently negotiating with local and international authorities to immediately remove the cub from the illegal zoo," they stated, among other things.
A few days later, the "Four Paws" organization also told "Vijesta" that adequate accommodation must be found for the animal as soon as possible, where the bear could be prepared for its return to nature.
They also said that, even if it is impossible to return it to its natural habitat, the mosque should be given the chance to live in a special reserve, where it would be under the supervision of experts.
Đuro is, as the public knows, the fourth cub of that type of wild animal in six years to end up on the Milicković estate.
Brundo and Maša ended up in the village of Blizna when they were about 2,5 months old. Mečad were found in a den without a mother at the beginning of 2017, on the slopes of Pustog Lisac, near Nikšić.
Brund and Maša were then taken over by Miličković and taken care of at the estate, with the claim that they were on a program of feralization with him.
According to photos published by Miličković and his visitors on social networks at the time, and reports published by numerous media, the cubs were exposed to constant contact with people - visitors fed them on pacifiers, petted them...
Thanks to the Center for the Protection and Study of Birds, Brundo and Maša were sent to a rehabilitation center in Greece as part of the program of that NGO for the conservation of large animals. According to ASI, their rehabilitation was not successful due to previous "inappropriate treatment during their stay in a private zoo".
In the same year that he took care of Brund and Maša, a third bear appeared at Milicković's house. Ljubo is still on the property in the village of Blizna, but its origin has never been explained.
