animal rights are not that well
protected in Serbia like the case is in, let's say, in the most of EU
countries.
Surely they have some studies on what's their compliance with EU
standards by now? Serbia is quite close to entering EU (if you forget
Kosovo).
So, I am interested in prevalent opinion. What's more important to us:
free knowledge or not cooperating with an institution which likely has
issues with the treatment of animals -- the question is just about the
level.
That's definitely the biggest concern.

As for moral considerations, if you're unsure, outsource them: have a
partnership with the zoo only if you can find an
animalist/environmentalist association willing to join the effort. If
you manage, you have an achievement before even starting, i.e. an ally
for future initiatives like WikiLovesMonuments or education or whatever
(examples made with Italian WWF and Legambiente in mind; no idea of the
situation in Serbia).
