YEAs participate in EuroPride 2022 Week activities in Serbia
The EuroPride 2022 Week that took place this month in Belgrade started with the opening session of the international human rights conference that was attended also by Serbia’s YEAs Adrijana Nikitović, Dimitrije Prokopović, Dragana Grahovac, Teodora Cekić, and Velimir Milošev.
YEAs also attended other sessions of the conference including; Western Balkans vs. the EU: Ways of Tackling Discrimination through Institutional Mechanisms, The Significance of Pride for Equality in the Balkans, The role of Legislators working on equality in Central and Eastern Europe, and the closing ceremony.
Apart from the conference, YEA also joined the Pride March that was organised on 17 September. The march gathered numerous activists, diplomats, and citizens from the region, the EU and outside Europe who danced, sang and celebrated in the rhythm of rainbow colours. Participants were all united around the message that LGBTI rights are human rights, that the fight for equality is not over yet, and that they will continue walking towards their goal – a world that understands that love is love. The Pride March showed solidarity with the community, and proved that they will never walk alone.
