Bear Sanctuary Pristina

For many years in Kosovo, all privately kept brown bears lived in small cages at restaurants, to attract customers. In 2010, when it became illegal to keep bears privately, there was a need for a national park as a new home for the restaurant bears rescued from captivity. This centre aims to improve the public attention to animal welfare and environmental problems in Kosovo. The sanctuary can be reached by an 8-km hike from Gërmia Park.
