The Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade said that it will do everything to identify and prosecute those who caused violence during the EuroPride march.

The statement said that the justice authorities will work with the Ministry of Interior to identify and prosecute those responsible for the violence, and described some of them as “hooligans”.

On September 13, the Serbian interior ministry officially announced that it would stop holding Europride week.

The reason for the ban was said to be due to “the risk of violence, destruction of property and other forms of large-scale disruption of public order”.

But the activists of the LGBT community marched in the streets of Belgrade, where 1,000 activists participated and about 6,000 policemen were deployed to maintain order.

During the march, the police clashed with right-wing groups that had come out to oppose the march.
