At the fourth platform meeting, hosted by Croatia, participants exchanged information on their activities regarding large carnivore management. In a range of break-out groups, topics related to international cooperation and large carnivore management were discussed between participants from 10 countries. These included the institutional structure for the platform (moving towards a platform agreement); developing cross-border monitoring guidance; hunters input to large carnivore management; and intervention team set-up protocols.
