Parade marks another step to strong democracy for Serbia

BELGRADE - Head of the OSCE Mission to Serbia Peter Burkhard said on Sunday the Belgrade Pride Parade was another step for Serbia towards the adoption of international standards in human rights when it comes to the freedoms of assembly and expression.

The OSCE commends the people of Serbia and their government on ensuring that a social group was able to exercise their rights peacefully, he told Tanjug.

Serbia as a multicultural state has the opportunity to celebrate its diversity and build a strong democratic society on that foundation, Burkhard pointed out.
