Polish President Adopts Rescued Bear During B9 Summit Visit to Romania
During his visit to Romania for the Bucharest Nine (B9) Summit, Polish President Karol Nawrocki adopted a rescued bear named Batyr from the Libearty Bear Sanctuary near Zărnești. The adoption was announced on social media by Marcin Przydacz, a senior foreign policy adviser to the Polish president, who highlighted that Romania holds the largest bear population in the European Union. The environmental organization Agent Green confirmed the visit and shared images of the president at the sanctuary, which is recognized as one of Europe's leading animal protection projects. Video footage also showed the president interacting with a dog en route to the facility. No specific details regarding Batyr’s age or background have been released. The adoption occurred alongside high-level diplomatic engagements, as President Nawrocki and Romanian President Nicușor Dan co-hosted the B9 Summit in Bucharest on May 13, 2026. The summit attracted significant international attention, with attendees including NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and United States representatives serving as observers.
