Slavija Square

Organisers of this year's Belgrade Pride Parade - whose motto is "I'm not giving up" ["Ne odricem se"] - said the walk on Sunday will pass near the main institutions in the city to which Belgrade Pride has been addressing its demands for improved rights for the LGBTI+ community.

The protest organizers announced this on Friday.

They said that the participants would walk from this location via Makedonska, Svetogorska, Takovska, and Kralja Milana streets to Slavija Square.

They include the dome of the National Assembly, the Ada Bridge, and the Palace Albania building.

The new fountain in Slavija Square will also light up blue, said Mayor Sinisa Mali.

The construction work in central Belgrade that began with the reconstruction of the Slavija Square in May has expanded to encompass major parts of the city centre over the summer.  

Starting from Branko's Bridge, a number of main squares, boulevards and streets are now partly or completely closed to traffic.
