Aleksandar Vučić has said the decision to ban Pride Parade and all other assemblies in Belgrade was "the only right decision, made in the interest of citizens."
"Vučić says that the Serbian society will be ready for such an event in the future, but for the time being, it is his job and that of Serbian Prime Minister and Interior Minister Ivica Dačić to make sure that people are safe and that scenes that were witnessed during such events in the streets of Belgrade do not repeat again."
I had an Eureka moment after reading this statement... Serbia can become overnight one of the safest country in the world by ordering a 24 hrs curfew 7 days a week so that criminals' opportunity to commit crimes against somebody is really reduced to a a minimum. Sure, everybody would be living in a sort of house arrest, but they are going to be safe.
In the article its noted that Vucic never said anything homophobic (which is true). As for other politicions, well that's not Vucic's problem is it? Denying the parade was a hard, but rresponsible decision on Vucic's part.
Winston, you are wrong. The Pride Parade was banned because of security of the LBGT population. There are some people which hate gays, ready to make a bloodbath. It takes time to accept homosexuality as a basic civil right. I`d suggest some other ways of presenting "different lifestyle" not only The Pride march.
He is of the opinion that the rights of the LGBT population in Serbia are not jeopardized, noting that apart from rare exceptions, there are no homophobic statements. - Hahahaha, what a hypocrite and, well, liar. Asides from the premier of Serbia calling gays abnormal, and a member of your ruling coalition, Mr. Markovic Palma, calling the parade "the shame parade), no, there are no homophobic statements. If you honestly had civil rights for all the citizens of Serbia of interest, as is the law, you, the premier, and the president would have been at the head of the parade, and not one window would have been broken anywhere. But you three chose not to because, because you are homphobes. The Pride parade is not about homosexuality, it is about citizens' basic civil rights in Serbia, which you and the remainder of the ruling regime chose not to secure.
There is no excuse for denying basic human rights. The right for peaceful assembly is one of them.
Whatever one may feel towards the LGBT society the march on their part would definitely and without any doubt have passed peacefully and should have been allowed to go ahead.
Vucic's decision to ban the March was wrong for many wrong reasons, not the other way round.
Serbia could now very likely face trial in Strasbourg over this issue, risking loosing much more than a few possible broken windows.
Is this in the interest of the citizens of Serbia?
