Serbian Prime Minister, Belgrade Mayor Attend Gay Parade

Hundreds of participants in an LGBT pride parade in Belgrade were joined by the city's mayor, Zoran Radojcic, Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic, who is herself a lesbian, and a number of ambassadors on September 16. A few dozen Orthodox Christian protesters stood near the route of the LGBT parade and recited prayers. They carried Orthodox icons, banners with slogans such as "Immorality and gay shamelessness -- never more in public life," and a portrait of former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic, whom a UN tribunal has found guilty of genocide.
