Doubts
Were you surprised by the news that there was no will to run the institution, even though you had personally expressed such a desire?
Noreikis said the request was probably delayed, so it was not accepted either.
I don’t know where that information came from that didn’t come from wanting to lead.
“I was [išreiškęs norą kandidatuoti]”But I wanted more candidates,” he said Monday.
“I gave it at the last minute, but the contest was canceled. I received a notification that it has been canceled. That the competition will be announced again, “said B.A.Noreikis.
We check: did you withdraw your application or was your application valid? “It just caught our eye then. I introduced it at the last minute. It was said that it could perform until July 30, I did it on the last day, but already after 5pm. Maybe then it didn’t blow me up. I don’t know.” The acting director hesitated, adding that he would simply reapply because a new competition would be announced.
“I know that it will facilitate the requirements so that there are more participants to choose from. Let’s see, let’s wait, “said B.A. Norikis calmly.

K. Radziulis also assumed that his request had probably been rejected. I do not recall receiving confirmation that it was accepted. When asked how he submitted the application, he said that he did not send it directly to the Ministry of the Environment, which announced the tender, but through e. system.
Unlike B.A.Noreikis, it has not yet decided whether to try to apply again. “How to say … Let’s see what the requirements will be. The desire is to provide, but we will live and see,” said the chief. Biologist. He was reluctant to be open about his plans as a future leader.
Big changes
B.A. The need was more eloquent. He noted that the zoo is facing major changes. “The garden is being prepared for reconstruction. Some work has already begun. The organization itself, the structure, the positions will change, construction will begin. It will be a difficult time. In a short time we will have to build the entire garden again. A mid 2023. You see, I am a veterinarian by specialty, and here I will have to manage projects, solve various other complex problems, but with a good team, it is overcome, ”BANoreikis is determined.
The Ministry was seeking a person with a university degree in biology, ecology, environmental science, civil engineering, environmental engineering, veterinary or business administration and management (master’s degree) and at least 3 years of managerial experience.
In announcing the competition, it was stated that the new manager was expected to be smart, managerial and determined to successfully implement the big changes awaiting the Lithuanian zoo. Last year, an EU-funded garden infrastructure renovation project of € 18.3 million was launched. euros
The former zoo director was fired in October last year. Aurimas Didžiokas managed the garden for six years. He was fired because, as mentioned, he had lost the minister’s confidence due to the delay in rebuilding the zoo.
