Despite its earlier decision to ban the international EuroPride parade in Belgrade, citing security concerns, the Serbian government informed the European Commission and EuroPride last week that the march would be held on Saturday, though with a shorter route than initially planned.
EuroPride is a pan-European LGBT event, held in a different city every year. This year it was held in the Serbian capital from the 12th to the 18th.
Of course, the week of events caused strong protest from both the Serbian Orthodox Church and traditional Serbian society. Tens of thousands of Orthodox faithful came out to St. Sava Cathedral in Belgrade on the eve of the event to pray for the protection of traditional family morality in Serbia. His Holiness Patriarch Porfirije called for such prayers to be read in every service in every church from now on.
But despite Church and state opposition, the organizers of the pride event refused to back down. The event and the Serbian government’s eventual decision to allow it were praised by the embassies of the U.S., the U.K., Ukraine, Japan, and a number of other, mainly European, countries.

OUCH!!!!
OUCH!!!!
EU: Yes to Kosovo independence!
Also EU:
No to referenda in Donetsk, Kherson, Lugansk, and Zaporozhye.
Ukraine one the perversion cheer leaders.
Instead the President, Aleksandar Vučić, worked with Foreign Western LGBT agitators to please the EU and NATO and allow the march.
Is this the correct understanding of events?
These ain’t the Serbs of 1914.
They shove it right down your throat and if you object you’re the bad guy.
The Serbs have gotten real quiet since the Russian army was chased out of Kharkiv region by Ukrainian “farmers and miners.”
Probably not!!!!
When they hold this (now truncated) event, there will be MORE protests!!!!
Meanwhile, in our beloved America, LGBTQ “events” multiply and multiply, with whimpers instead of protests!!!!
I missed the fact that the Government Truncated the event (apparently reducing it in size), however I did expect more protests against LGBTQ marches and events.
The size and Patriotic nature of the Protest Demonstrations against LGBTQ indicates the Serbian People in general are fully committed to rejecting LGBTQ policy.
Actually, they have not, it's the Western Media that is real quiet about what Serbs are saying and doing.
.....The size and Patriotic nature of the Protest Demonstrations against LGBTQ indicates the Serbian People in general are fully committed to rejecting LGBTQ policy......
The protests are indeed patriotic, but they are mainly spiritual, with many Monastics, Heirarchs, Priests, and Deacons participating, and with many Icons being displayed!!!!
Thank you, that helps me understand the Serbian People more fully. I will keep reading Serbian News and Opinion.
