Despite the Serbian government's plan to cancel EuroPride, the festival's organizers are marching ahead
.” More protests are expected in the coming days. But the way EuroPride’s organizers and supporters see it, these factors make the festival more necessary, not less. “EuroPride is a lighthouse event for the whole queer community in Europe because the situation of LGBTI rights is not completely homogenous across Europe,” says Terry Reintke, a German lawmaker and co-chair of the LGBTI group in the European Parliament, who is heading to Belgrade this week.
“In instances like this, it is so important for the community to stand together and say we are not going to back off,” says Rientke. Whereas yielding to the government’s efforts to cancel the event would feel like caving to far-right nationalist demands, she adds, holding EuroPride in spite of them “would be such a signal of hope.”
Despite the government’s stated cancellation of EuroPride last month and today’s formal ban, the festivities have already begun, including an opening ceremony that saw the Pride flag raised over the Palace of Serbia . Organizers are already bracing for thousands of attendees from across the continent—thanks, in part, to the Serbian government. If they aren’t permitted to march, then they will protest instead.
