In conclusion, the assessment of the genetic diversity in the wild boar population from the Podunavlje-Podravlje hunting area was the main objective of this study. This report represents the first genetic characterization of wild boar in the West Balkan region, and it is very important for the future development of conservation and management strategies for this species. However, in future research new approaches must be taken, eventually including more individuals and more markers in order to allow the assessment of genetic structure without forcing an artificial and semi-artificial grouping of individuals.
