Organisers of the EuroPride march have told openDemocracy they will continue with this year’s event despite an 11th-hour ban from the Serbian authorities.

Serbia’s Ministry of Interior banned the march yesterday. It was due to be held this Saturday as part of the EuroPride week in the country’s capital, Belgrade – the first time Serbia has hosted the annual pan-European event.

Determined organisers have spoken of their disappointment but said they will press ahead with an unofficial march.
