The objective of the platform meeting was to bring together government representatives from the Dinaric region, including Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and to discuss common approaches to large carnivore (LC) population management across the region. At a first meeting in November 2021 in Ljubljana, agreement was reached on the baseline situation, the desire to collaborate and the need to continue the platform activities. The aim of the second meeting was to progress along two lines of work:
