Joint Statement in Support of Pride Values and the Protection and Promotion of Human Rights of LGBTIQ+ Persons

On the occasion of Belgrade Pride 2023, we wish to reaffirm our commitment to respecting, promoting and protecting human rights for all. We proudly stand with the LGBTIQ+ community in Serbia and firmly support the values that Pride represents – acceptance, inclusion and diversity.

We will continue working with local LGBTIQ+ organisations to help achieve the community’s legitimate place in society and ensure a constructive debate around equality, non-discrimination, and human rights, including the freedom of assembly and freedom of expression.

These are universal rights. Regardless of where we are, who we are – or whom we love.
