Belgrade Pride (Serbian: Парада поноса у Београду, romanized: Parada ponosa u Beogradu) is an annual pride parade held in Belgrade, Serbia to celebrate the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people and their allies.
After the first attempt in 2001, which was faced with hooligans violence, authorities prevented further efforts to organize and register the event until 2010, when it was organized once again and faced attacks resulting in 100 injured.[1] In 2013 the Constitutional Court of Serbia had ruled that the 2011 ban was a violation of the constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of assembly, awarding damages to the organizers.[2]
The third pride parade was organized in 2014 (when the first Belgrade Trans Pride was organized in parallel) without any notable incident, after which the event is organized every year, except in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] From 2016 onwards, the second pride event known as the Pride of Serbia, is organized in June to commemorate the Stonewall riots.
At the conference in Bilbao in 2019, Belgrade Pride was selected to host 2022 EuroPride in competition with ILGA Portugal, Dublin Pride and Pride Barcelona.[4] Belgrade is the first city in the region as well as the first one outside of the European Economic Area to host the event.[5]
On 27 August 2022, President Aleksandar Vučić announced he would not permit EuroPride to go forward, citing current tensions between Serbia and Kosovo, economic problems, and concerns that anti-gay protestors could disrupt the event. Organizers of EuroPride denounced the decision and said they would go forward with the event anyway.[6] Vučić and the Government of Serbia then ultimately approved on 17 September that the parade could take place and an estimated 10,000 people participated in the parade walk.[7][8] Minor incidents happened during the parade walk, orchestrated by opponents of Europride.[9]
