Pride Parades attract hate speech in Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia

Pride parades in Sarajevo and Skopje on June 25 prompted numerous digital rights violations which followed the common pattern of online hate speech against the LGBT+ community.

The Pride Week is starting in Belgrade on Monday and will last through September 20 when the Pride Parade will be held.

Organizers believe that this year the parade will pass without incidents.

Belgrade Mayor Sinisa Mali said on Friday he would support the Pride Parade, if it is held in the city.

"I have no confirmation that the Pride Parade will be held, as well as the parade of trans persons. If they are held, I will support both," Mali said, when asked by reporters at the City Hall.
