These are the animal taxa currently kept in the two zoos in R. Macedonia (small land-locked country in South-East Europe), who are not members of EAZA, namely Skopje zoo and Bitola zoo. There are few other, petting zoos (Prilep, Stip-Brioni zoo), falconry, and aqarium for endemic freswater fish in Ohrid, wich is research and conservation institute.
Zoo animals in Skopje zoo & Bitola zoo:
(Mammals)
Dromedary camel
Liama
Reticulated giraffe (total 3 in Skopje)
Falow deer
European red deer
Roe deer
Common eland
Blue wildebeest
Barbary sheep
Himalayan thar
Muflon
Red forest buffalo (Congo buffalo)
European bison
Yak
Common hipoppothamus
Grant's zebra
Przewalski's horse
Tiger (either Siberian or hybrid, total of 4-5)
Leopard (either Persian or hybrid, total 3 in the two zoos)
African lion (total 8)
Jaguar (2)
Carpathian lynx
Eurasian gray wolf

So these zoos are non-EAZA. Some of their enclosures are nice, but some are substandard or small and not so appropriate.
Some of the past animals include chimpanzees, pumas, polar bears, and elephants (very long time ago, well before 25 years or more).
