Serbian President Promises to Protect Gay Pride Marchers Sunday

Serbia's president promised to protect hundreds of gay and human rights activists on Sunday when they stage the first gay pride parade in the capital since a similar march in 2001 ended in violent clashes. Ultranationalist groups and hooligans have threatened to attack the march, and police are deploying around 5,000 policemen in central Belgrade and advising participants to stay with the group. "The state will do everything to protect all its citizens regardless of their religious, sexual or political affiliation," President Boris Tadic said in a statement on Friday.
