Gays and lbians still experience equent harassment the untry, although the attu Belgra is far more relaxed than the rt of the state.

Many villag and towns (pecially the centre and south) reta a particularly nservative mentaly, to the pot where textbooks classifyg homosexualy as ‘viance’ are still e here and there.

The Church is unsurprisgly not favour of homosexualy, referrg to as a vlatg of God’s ordance and an ‘sult to God’.

PROTTERS MARCH BELGRA AGAST PLANNED GAY PRI EVENT

Regrettably, the same poll found that 21% of Serbians felt that homosexuals should be charged as crimals.

Napredak koji je Srbija ostvarila proteklih goda suočava se sa preprekom homo-transfobije koju šire oportunistički akteri negativno nastrojeni protiv ljudskih prava, kako na teru, tako i van njega, izjav je danas šef Kancelarije... Across the Wtern Balkans, Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual and Intersex (LGBTI) people are fightg for their rights to lead a normal life.

Eventually, the new Yugoslav Crimal Co of 1929 banned “lewdns agast the orr of nature” (anal terurse) between human begs (heterosexual and homosexual). The Socialist Feral Republic of Yugoslavia later rtricted the offense 1959 to only apply to homosexual anal terurse but wh maximum sentence rced om 2 to 1 year imprisonment.

In 1990, Vojvoda was rerporated to the legal system of Serbia and male homosexualy once aga beme a crimal offense. Serbia, as part of Yugoslavia, crimalised homosexualy 1994.
