Belgrade Pride in Danger
27 09 2010
Human rights organization, Amnesty International today warned of a risk of right wing groups threatening the safety of next week's pride march in Belgrade. The march, which is due to take place on the 10th October will be the first in the capital of Serbia since 2001. Then, the march was broken up by violent attacks on the participants by extremists. Serbian President Boris Tadic warned against creating an "atmosphere of chaos'" and "threats and violence". He said: "The state will do everything to protect people, whatever their national, religious, sexual or political orientation, and no group must resort to threats and violence and jeopardize the lives of those who think or are different."
