Last year such clearly expressed political support was missing. Also Serbia’s president Boris Tadic has expressed his support for organising the event. The parade has already been supported by a number of government members, among others Interior Minister Ivica Dačić and Human and Minority Rights Minister Svetozar Čiplić, as well as by the majority of parliamentary parties in Serbia. A year after the gay parade was cancelled in Belgrade due to the authorities’ inability to protect the gathering from hooligan threats, Serbia plans to hold this year’s Pride Parade on 10 October.
