Pride Parade 2011: A Test of Institutional Power

Release

Belgrade, September 30, 2011.

Twenty days ago the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia called this year's Pride Parade a test of Serbia's social and political emancipation. At that time the Committee released that the actual government had already hesitated too long about taking proper measures against lynch calls and would, therefore, be nothing but an accomplice should another wave of uninhibited violence and destruction mark this year's Belgrade Pride.

Today, on the very eve of the scheduled Pride, the Committee would just add the following comment: if the Pride takes place the state will pass the test and demonstrate its existence; if the Pride is cancelled, under no matter what pretext, it will simply demonstrate that it does not exist at all or exists on paper only impotent and irresolute as it is.

Major of Belgrade Dragan Djilas is right when saying that "every right implies a responsibility." True, the biggest responsibility is bestowed on the right to govern.
