As, among other things, the administrative court summarized in the judgment, the state states in the justification of the permit that it was issued on the basis of the regulation on protected wild animal species and that it determined the removal area based on the expertise of experts from the Ljubljana Faculty of Biotechnology, the Forestry Institute of Slovenia and the Forestry Institute of Slovenia.
