This marks the first time the event will be held outside of the European Economic Area and in the Balkan region.<\/span><span lang=\"NL\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"NL\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The first Belgrade Pride took place in 2001; just after the democratic overturn &#8211; a hope arose that the new democratic system will finally give the<span>\u00a0 <\/span><strong>LGBTI+<\/strong> community the opportunity to <\/span><span lang=\"NL\">to combat the very negative stereotypes and to show the society that we are not \u201cdemons\u201d and \u201cproject of the West meant to destroy the Serbian family\u201d, as the propaganda had the people believe.<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> A small group of very brave activists decided to organise the first Pride in Southeast Europe. On that sunny day in June of 2001, about a hundred human rights activists joined together in the Republican Square with the hope that they will wave the rainbow flag and <strong>show the citizens of Serbia and the Balkans that LGBTI+ people exist<\/strong><\/span><span lang=\"NL\">, that we are just like everybody else<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> and that we deserve basic human rights. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">What happened was for from what anyone was hoping for &#8211; hundreds of hooligans and far-right extremists descended upon the square and brutally attacked all the participants of the Pride<\/span><span lang=\"NL\">, savagely beating up everyone who didn\u2019t manage to get away<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">. The police was not prepared to protect the event and only a few police-persons were present. The shocking images of violence that ensued in, what we now call <\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span lang=\"AR-SA\" dir=\"RTL\"><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span>\u201c<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">Bloody Pride<\/span><span lang=\"NL\">\u201d <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">was broadcasted live on TV &#8211; at that time, I was 7 years old and I was watching the coverage with my parents. I was very lucky to be born in a progressive and tolerant family and I can still remember my parents being horrified by the scenes they were watching on TV; they explained to me that the people who were attacking the Pride were wrong and that hate and violence are unacceptable. Sadly, <\/span><span lang=\"NL\">growing<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> up in a family that understood the importance of equality and <\/span><span lang=\"NL\">which was accepting of LGBTI+ persons is still not common.<\/span><span lang=\"NL\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The next successful attempt to organise Belgrade Pride<\/span><span lang=\"NL\">,<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> was in 2010. That year, the police was prepared for the possibility of violence. <strong>About 600 activists was encircled by more than 10.000 police officers in full riot gear<\/strong>; the whole city was on lockdown, there were tanks on the streets. On the other side &#8211; <\/span><span lang=\"NL\">thousands<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> of hooligans <\/span><span lang=\"NL\">were<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">clash<\/span><span lang=\"NL\">ing<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> with the police in city-wide riots. Chaos and destruction was everywhere &#8211; buses were being burned, store-windows were demolished, <\/span><span lang=\"NL\">chaos<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> was everywhere except at the short Pride route. After the Parade ended, all of the participants were driven away by police cars to the outskirts of Belgrade while the police continued to fight the hooligans. Even though the Pride took place, the violence and pure hate are still embedded in the collective memory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">The following three Prides (2011-13) were banned by the government; even though<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">the <\/span><span lang=\"NL\">constitutional court of Serbia found the bans to be unconstitutional &#8211; the government went on to ban the Pride<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">. Sadly, the bans were the only things the government did &#8211; there were <\/span><span lang=\"NL\">very little<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> attempts to educate the public, there were no significant attempts to arrest the hooligans who were the cause of violence, there w<\/span><span lang=\"NL\">ere only few<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> steps taken to ensure that <strong>dignity of LGBTI+ people will be respected<\/strong>. Even the<\/span><span lang=\"NL\"> way they banned the Pride was<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> undignified<\/span><span lang=\"NL\"> &#8211;<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> they always did it one day before the Pride was to take place<\/span><span lang=\"NL\">, leaving everyone\u2019s hope up until the last moment &#8211; just to crush it in a clear victory for the nationalistic and oppressive parts of the society<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">. After the third consecutive ban &#8211; human rights activists and Pride organisers have had enough &#8211; they went on the street and marched <\/span><span lang=\"NL\">in <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">what we now call <\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span lang=\"AR-SA\" dir=\"RTL\"><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span>\u201c<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">The Midnight Pride<\/span><span lang=\"NL\">\u201d<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">; by doing so &#8211; they showed that Pride without violence is possible in Belgrade.<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">It<\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span lang=\"AR-SA\" dir=\"RTL\"><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span>\u2019<\/span><span lang=\"NL\">s important to <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">mention that, even though the Pride Marches faced a lot of difficulties &#8211; Pride Week events took place without incident since 2011. A lot of art shows, debates, plays, movie screenings, parties, etc. are taking place city wide every year<\/span><span lang=\"NL\">, even during the Pride March bans<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">. In 2019 (before the Covid Pandemics) <\/span><span lang=\"NL\">Belgrade Pride Week<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> had 82 events during our Pride Week with thousands of visitors.<\/span><span lang=\"NL\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"NL\"><span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\">Belgrade is well known for it<\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span lang=\"AR-SA\" dir=\"RTL\"><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/strong><span lang=\"EN-US\"><strong>s nightlife and queer nightlife<\/strong> is a good part of it. Queer nightlife has also been quite vibrant, <\/span><span lang=\"NL\">even in times when the Pride was banned <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">&#8211; in 2010 for example, there were 4 gay clubs and many bars that were continuously operating. These days, all of the electronic music venues are very queer friendly, along with many bars and restaurants in town and there<\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span lang=\"AR-SA\" dir=\"RTL\"><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span>\u2019<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">s an abundance of queer parties taking place every week in various venues. I started going out quite early &#8211; I was about 15 when I went to my first gay-club in 2008; back then &#8211; it was quite normal for the hooligans to wait for you after the parties and beat you up, or throw in tear-gas bombs in the clubs. In the past 8-10 years &#8211; something like that is unimaginable. Belgrade has become more tolerant and the Pride was a major cause for that.<\/span><span lang=\"NL\"> Not only have we raised the visibility of the community and gave a platform to the people from the community to share their stories &#8211; we\u2019ve continuously worked with the government and the various institutions on sensibility of their employees and strategies for inclusion of the community; we\u2019ve worked with the government on drafting and conduct concrete actions that aim to combat discrimination of LGBTI+ people in the society as well as trying to find ways to fix some of the manny issues are community is facing.<\/span><span lang=\"NL\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"NL\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"NL\"><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"NL\"><span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">Ever since 2014 &#8211; Belgrade Pride took place without incidents. Even though there still is a very noticeable police presence &#8211; no major incidents took place since then. Throughout the years, many celebrities have publicly supported the Pride and the community and a good number of politicians started to advocate for inclusion and equality. Along with more neutral reporting from the media &#8211; regular people from the community were empowered to come out and join the <\/span><span lang=\"NL\">Pride<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">. Although we have achieved some advancements when it comes to legislative issues, we still have a long way to go. One of the major breakthrough we had was when we opened the <\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span lang=\"AR-SA\" dir=\"RTL\"><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span>\u201c<\/span><span lang=\"PT\">Pride Info Center<\/span><span lang=\"NL\">\u201d <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">in 2017. We had an idea to rent a small shop in the main street of Belgrade and to open an info point where general public could come and get information about the community and the Pride<\/span><span lang=\"NL\">; also, we wanted to create a place where<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">people from the <strong>LGBTI+ community<\/strong><\/span><span lang=\"NL\"> can connect with one another and get informed about the<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> services our partners provide.<\/span><span lang=\"NL\"> The idea was to open the Pride Info Center one month beofre the Pride and to close it afterwards.<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> I honestly thought that the place will be demolished in less than 5 days but something completely different happened: there were more than a 100 people coming in everyday and we understood that a place like this is something that we need<\/span><span lang=\"NL\"> full time<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">. Next year, we found a bigger place and opened the new Pride Info Center <\/span><span lang=\"NL\">in a bigger venue<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> and <\/span><span lang=\"NL\">have continuously operated it ever since.<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> Throughout the years, we<\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span lang=\"AR-SA\" dir=\"RTL\"><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span>\u2019<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">ve done hundreds of events and thousands of people has passed through it. It became a safe space for many young LGBTI+ people that have nowhere else to go and has become a the only place in town that has a rainbow flag flown in front of it 6 days a week.<\/span><span lang=\"NL\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>With the <\/span><span lang=\"NL\">progression<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> of the Pride March<\/span><span lang=\"NL\">,<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> which now has thousands of attendees and a concert at the end &#8211; we decided that we were going to bid to be the hosts fo EuroPride 2022 &#8211; not because Belgrade is such a great place for the LGBTI+ community but because it isn<\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span lang=\"AR-SA\" dir=\"RTL\"><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span>\u2019<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">t! We want to use this event to shed light on the serious issues the LGBTI+ community is facing not only in Serbia, but what the community is facing throughout non-EU Western Balkan countries. Even though the situation for the community has improved in Belgrade &#8211; the situation in the rest of Serbia and the rest of the Western Balkans is still not good; low visibility of the community, as well as the low level of political will to help improve the position of <strong>LGBTI+<\/strong> persons in the society, has led to a lot of prejudices still being commonplace as well as the level of acceptance of LGBTI+ people in the society still being too low. We hope that visitors from Europe will come out of solidarity and will help us to push our demands forward and show that the European LGBTI+ community is there for us who live in parts of Europe where the community is still facing a lot of issues. Some of the issues are legislative; for example, the government has continuously promised that they will adopt the law on same sex unions &#8211; it still hasn<\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span lang=\"AR-SA\" dir=\"RTL\"><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span><span dir=\"RTL\"><\/span>\u2019<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">t been done. A very interesting fact is that we have on openly lesbian Prime-minister who has a partner and has a child with her partner &#8211; but has rarely (if ever) publicly spoken on the importance of the fight for equality. Another issue is that, even though we have hate-crimes as part of our penal code &#8211; only for cases have been labeled as hate crimes by the prosecutors since 2012 &#8211; and there are hundreds, if not thousands, more\u2026<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>On a more positive note &#8211; <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">we are <\/span><span lang=\"NL\">preparing<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> a lot of interesting events, a big two day concert will take place on Friday the 16th September and Saturday the 17th September (the Pride march also takes place on Saturday 17th); a big human rights conference will last throughout the week with hundreds of other events to take place. <\/span><span lang=\"NL\">Belgrade is a very affordable city with a lot of interesting sites and experiences. I hope that a lot of people will decide to come, not only to have fun (which I promise they will have) but also to support us.
