Beograd prajd i (ne)vladine organizacije i pojedinci
Year after year, society in Serbia faces the same question: will the competent state authorities honor the constitutionally guaranteed right to peaceful assembly for citizens of Serbia who, in their fight for equality of the LGBTI+ community before the law, are also defending the freedom of every individual citizen of Serbia? As a member of the Council of Europe, the Republic of Serbia has an international obligation to respect the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights, which includes adopting the Law on Same-Sex Partnerships, adopting the Law on Gender Identity and the Rights of Intersex Persons, as well as a clear government strategy against hate speech and hate-motivated crimes toward the LGBTI+ community.
Given the fact that LGBTI+ activism in Serbia often entails greater sacrifice and consequences for individuals’ private lives compared to other forms of public engagement, any potential criticism of their activism must take that important feature into account. We are witnessing that the rights of this community have even deteriorated in recent years, and it is only logical to raise the question of responsibility—primarily of those in power, but also of “ordinary” citizens and LGBTI+ activists themselves. Within the community, more significant splits have only recently—and justifiably—appeared, whether due to inadequate transparency in public activity, undemocratic decision-making within the community, or an excessive concentration of power in the hands of individuals. Still, perhaps the strongest criticism concerns the unprincipled and unjustified closeness to officials of the current government in Serbia who, objectively speaking, bear the greatest responsibility for increased homophobia in society and, ultimately, for the failure to respect the constitutionally guaranteed rights of members of this community. I will not make my personal experiences with prominent members of the LGBTI+ community public here; instead, I want to present to the public a portion of research that has not yet appeared in public despite my open offer to well-known organizations and individuals.
The fiasco of Belgrade EuroPride in 2022, which was supposed to show that Belgrade and the Republic of Serbia have the capacity to be a place of openness, tolerance, and European togetherness, became synonymous with the erosion of fundamental human rights guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights and by the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia. Despite relevant research showing that as many as two-thirds of Serbian citizens support the rights of members of the LGBTI+ community to joint property, health care, inheritance rights, and more, the authorities in the Republic of Serbia not only reject this majority view but persistently refuse to honor their own constitution by regulating the rights of this community through law. Worse still, homophobic propaganda is being deliberately spread both in nationally broadcast media and via so-called alternative media. In other words, this is not mere political populism by the Serbian authorities but a deliberate and organized campaign driven by other—or, more precisely, foreign—interests. Supporting this is the fact that, unlike Belgrade Pride held on September 9, 2023, there were many more protests, accompanied by a full-blown media campaign, against holding EuroPride in 2022 precisely because of the event’s “European” designation.
Those interests certainly do not “accidentally” align with the open homophobic campaign and restrictive laws toward members of the LGBTI+ community pursued by the authorities of the Russian Federation. The start of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine on February 24, 2022, marked an open confrontation with the liberal-democratic order on which modern Western civilization is founded. That aggression also laid bare the well-known fact that the authorities in Serbia align their policy primarily with the interests of the political-economic elite in the Kremlin. In line with those interests, the rights of LGBTI+ people in the Republic of Serbia have also worsened. Alongside many organizations and individuals in Serbia instrumentalized by those in power, officials of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC) also play a significant role in spreading homophobic propaganda. Unsurprisingly—and again not “accidentally”—they maintain distinctly “sisterly” ties with the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), whose public activity is synchronously aligned with the interests of the authorities in its home state.
All of the above facts must be considered when analyzing the rights and seeking ways to improve the living conditions of members of the LGBTI+ community in Serbia. As already noted, no relevant study has yet been published that includes an analysis of relations between the authorities of the Republic of Serbia and the Russian Federation. The organizations and individuals mentioned below are only some of the documented cases of homophobic propaganda in Serbia. What they all have in common is open support for and/or the relativization of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, and thus contempt for and/or open opposition to the separation of legislative, judicial, and executive powers on which modern Western civilization rests. Paradoxically, this also includes substantive opposition to Serbia’s membership in the EU, even though that has been the proclaimed goal of the Serbian authorities since the political “changes” of October 5, 2000. This should not be surprising, because that goal aligns with Serbia’s economic and political interests but not with the core interests of Serbia’s political-economic oligarchy. In line with those interests is the decision of the Serbian authorities to maintain for the public the appearance of moving the state toward EU membership while, in practice, working to prolong that path and ensure that membership never truly occurs.
P.S.: Below is only a partial list of organizations, media outlets, and individuals who, through broad and recent media exposure—and in many cases through direct financial and media support from the authorities—have actively opposed the constitutionally guaranteed rights of the LGBTI+ community in the Republic of Serbia and have spread disinformation in the public sphere. The documented number of public figures and organizations—many of them linked to the authorities of the Republic of Serbia—is much larger and is available upon request to interested members of the public.
