Danica Vučenić: This year's Pride slogan shows we are still trapped in the same problems

Danica Vučenić says this year's Pride slogan is unsettling for a reason: it shows that the same problems have returned instead of being resolved.

The N1 television journalist, who is serving as this year's patron of Belgrade Pride, said at a press conference during the event that the march should become a strong call for solidarity and responsibility. She thanked the organizers for entrusting her with the role, describing it as an opportunity to support the minority community and the values she advocates in her professional work.

“

I understand this as a chance to support the minority community and the values I stand for in my work, in a place designated for that purpose. This year's Pride not only has the same name as four years ago, but also shows that we are trapped in a cycle of the same problems.

She placed the event against what she described as a climate of serious social violence. "It shows, through the context in which Pride is taking place, that this is a time of terrible violence, in which a bloody Pride has become our reality. I hope this march will be an even stronger call for solidarity, because it is taking place in a situation where the majority is also under threat. May it be a call for solidarity and responsibility," she said.
