Dozens of Serbia gays say election of gay PM-to-be historic
BELGRADE, Serbia—Several dozen Serbian gays, lesbians and transgender people have marched in the Serbian capital of Belgrade, hailing the expected election of a first openly gay prime minister as historic for the Balkan country.
Activists on Saturday gathered at a World Pride event in the city center under heavy police protection. They carried banners reading "we want life worthy of humans" or "support matters."
Serbia's gays have faced pressure and violence from extremist groups in the staunchly conservative nation.
