In the last article, another wolf seen in the same region is mentioned. All wolves were loners and nearly all were young adults from Germany interested in green pastures in the west.

Wolves have been seen in Denmark, the Netherlands and Belgium, directly south of the Netherlands.

The European tour of Canis lupus didn't go unnoticed. Partly as a result of the sightings, debates have erupted. I also saw a few wolf documentairies. All in all, I'd say they could be accepted. Provided they stay clear from sheep, of course. 

As to their chances. Loners could survive in rural parts in the northeast and southeast, but extended families would struggle to make a living. The problem isn't food (plenty of deer en wild boars), but a lack of space. This country is densely populated and has many roads. The Oostvaardersplassen (wetlands, plains, forests, plenty of deer and quite a few exotic herbivores), about 20 miles east of Amsterdam, could be suited.
