NOVI SAD, BELGRADE The Appellate Court in Novi Sad has delivered the first verdict for discrimination based on sexual orientation in the workplace in Serbia. This is according to the Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA). Court delivers sexual orientation discrimination verdict The GSA said in a release that the court had determined that Dario K., 26, had been discriminating his 25-year-old colleague M.A. based on his sexual orientation for several months. The court ordered Dario K. to pay the plaintiff RSD 180,000 for mental pain and violation of personal rights, reputation and honor. He will also have to pay the GSA, that represented the plaintiff, RSD 99,000 for the court costs. The Appellate Court said that a term “faggot” was undoubtedly used to describe a male homosexual in a “negative, humiliating, disparaging and insulting manner”. The court added that usage of such terms represented harassment and humiliation and a violation of dignity based on person’s sexual orientation. M.A. contacted the GSA in March 2011 and complained that his colleague had been insulting, threatening and physically abusing him for months which caused him to seek medical attention. The GSA noted it was very satisfied with the verdict and the speed of the trial. Beta
