Djukic-Dejanovic expressed her pleasure at meeting on the day when the World Health Organisation decided to remove homosexuality from its list of illnesses. “There is legal protection for the gay population in Serbia and the awareness of the average person in Serbia is changing. There are more and more of those who accept differences”, stressed Djukic-Dejanovic.

The representatives of Serbian LGBT organisations informed the Speaker that the situation in the society has improved somewhat, after the Pride Parade, but that the members of this population are still afraid of possible reactions of their environment. “We enjoy an excellent cooperation with the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia, as well as with the public and cultural spheres”, stressed the members of the delegation of representatives of Serbian LGBT organisations Boban Stojanovic from Queeria, Jovanka Todorovic Savovic from the Labris Lesbian Human Rights Organisation, Lazar Pavlovic from the Gay-Straight Alliance, Predrag Azdejkovic from the Gay-Lesbian Info Centre and Boris Milicevic member of the Main Board of the Socialist Party of Serbia.
