1 - 7. septembar 2025.

Belgrade Pride 2024 will be held under the slogan "Pride is People" with the intention of
reminding all our fellow citizens that LGBTI+ persons are just people who suffer from the
same problems as everyone else, but with additional challenges caused by homophobia and
transphobia. Pride Week will last from September 2 to 8, and the Pride March will be
held on September 7 at 4 p.m.
 

This year, as in previous years, we want to remind the public that LGBTI+ people exist
throughout Serbia and that they regularly experience violence and discrimination. This is
why we once again wish to remind everyone of the demands of Belgrade Pride, which have
stayed unchanged for a full decade, but are not receiving the support of those who have the
power to adopt them:

 

This year's Pride Week, which will take place from 2 to 8 September, will include a range of
cultural, artistic and educational events, such as the Theatre Festival, exhibitions, panel
discussions, debates, parties and community talks. The Pride March, scheduled for
Saturday, September 7 at 4 p.m., begins and ends in the "Manjež" park in Belgrade, where
this year's concert program is planned after the walk itself. 

We would like to remind you that last year's Pride walk was the most massive with more than
8,000 participants and that no incidents were recorded, so we invite all our fellow citizens to
join us this year and to walk together for a Serbia where we are all equal and safe. 

The complete program of the Pride Week, as well as all the news related to the walk,
concerts and other parts of the program, can be followed on the official website of Belgrade
Pride www.prajd.rs, as well as through the official communication channels on X (Twitter),
Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, under the username @belgradepride.

Women in Black and Belgrade Pride will organize a protest in front of the Embassy of the Russian Federation on Wednesday, December 13, 2023, at 12 p.m., in response to the ban on the LGBT movement in Russia.
On November 30, 2023, the Supreme Court of Russia labeled the LGBT movement as an extremist organization and banned its activities within the territory of Russia.
This move represents another form of persecution under the long rule of Vladimir Putin's regime and will further contribute to the suppression of all LGBT individuals in Russia. Additionally, this verdict will contribute to the climate of impunity and unchecked violence that already exists in this authoritarian society, silencing the voices of those who dissent from the ruling regime.

The Russian Federation, engaged in aggression against Ukraine for two years, is actively conducting ethnic cleansing of minority groups through forced mobilization, openly violating the human rights of its own citizens by labeling them as foreign mercenaries and spies, banning the work of human rights organizations, and subjecting those who dare to protest to politically motivated trials and long prison sentences.

The authorities in Russia have a long history of persecuting LGBT individuals and anyone who is different. Today, no democratic country should adopt such shameful policies. Neither should the ruling party in Serbia, nor President Vučić, who personally called for the ban on last year's EuroPride in Belgrade, referred to trans individuals as "woke madness," and refused to sign laws that would enable equal lives for LGBT individuals in Serbia.
On this occasion, we express our:
Outrage at the actions of the Russian authorities;

Compassion for all those who are already and will be victims of persecution;

Demands to the authorities in Serbia to cease supporting the regime in Russia and distance itself from such persecutions.
In Belgrade, December 12, 2023.

Belgrade, September 11, 2023

The Pride march and concert of Belgrade Pride 2023 gathered more than 10,000 people and were the largest to date. Organizers announced that Pride Week in 2024 will be held from September 2 to September 8, 2024. The Pride march is scheduled for Saturday, September 7, 2024.

This year, the Pride march, as well as all other events during Pride Week, took place without incidents.

"We are proud to have once again walked the streets of the city and shown support for the rights of the LGBTI+ community. We are proud of the large number of people who joined Pride and sent a strong message that Belgrade supports diversity and inclusivity. We continue the fight for love and equality and demand that all of Belgrade Pride's demands be met," stated Belgrade Pride after Pride Week.

It is worth noting that Belgrade Pride's demands have not changed since 2014 and include the adoption of the Law on Same-Sex Partnerships; the Gender Identity Law and the improvement of healthcare services for transgender individuals; a swift and adequate response from state authorities and public condemnation by government officials of hate speech and hate-motivated crimes against the LGBTI+ community; the adoption of local action plans for the LGBTI+ community; education for youth about sexual orientation and gender identity; an apology to all citizens of Serbia who were persecuted before 1994 due to their sexual orientation and gender identity; as well as free and easily accessible pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP and PEP).

We demand that the authorities and all state institutions fulfill Belgrade Pride's demands without delay.

The Belgrade Pride March is scheduled for September 9th, and the gathering for participants will begin at 4:00 PM in Manjež Park. That's when the entrance points will also be open. The March itself starts at 5:00 PM and will be led by a drumming band and a truck with music. Besides the police officers, licensed security personnel, organizers, and volunteers will be on duty at the entrance points. They will ensure that everyone safely joins the March and concerts and receives their wristbands. The entrance points are located on Kralja Milana Street, near the Hotel Moskva, at the intersection of Resavska and Birčaninova, the intersection of Resavska and Mišarska, and at the entrance to Kralja Milana from Slavija Square. The walk route is as follows: it starts from Manjež Park, goes through Nemanjina street, Kneza Miloša street, Kralja Milana street, Nikola Pašić Square to the National Assembly, then back through Kneza Miloša street and Nemanjina to Manjež Park. The Pride is open to all citizens; there is no pre-registered list of participants. If you encounter any issues when entering the walk, please call one of the following numbers: +38169699802, +381638938759, + 381621775356.

IMPORTANT: Entry points open at 4:00 PM and close at 5:30 PM.

After the march and upon returning to the Park, at 6:30 PM, two entry points for the concert will be open, one at the intersection of Resavska and Masarikova streets, and the other at the intersection of Nemanjina and Kralja Milutina streets. The checkpoints will remain open until the end of the concert.


At Belgrade Pride, any slogans or banners containing messages that do not align with the values and policies of Belgrade Pride are not allowed. This includes hate speech based on nationality, religion, or ethnicity, discrimination, insults, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, and calls for violence. Protest and political messages that are in line with the values and principles of Belgrade Pride are welcome. Avoid conflicts with security personnel, do not respond to any provocations, and avoid contact with counter-demonstrators. When leaving the Pride March or Pride Concert, pack any items indicating your participation (flags, bags) into your bags or backpacks, or leave them in the Pride Park. Remove or change all makeup, glitter, clothing, and other elements before leaving the park. When leaving, move in larger groups, walk on central and well-lit streets to the nearest taxi or public transportation stop. If you feel your safety is threatened, call 192 immediately or approach the nearest police officer if you spot them nearby. The organizational team, when applying for the Pride March, requested a temporary traffic closure from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM along the route of the March, not continuously, but while the March passes through those streets. However, the police, after safety assessments, may decide to close other streets and extend the closure time for those streets, which we cannot influence.
