Goran Miletic (BETAPHOTO/MILAN OBRADOVIC)
The organizers of EuroPride are not familiar with any potential security threats to the event and, if there are any, the authorities have never presented them, one of the organizers, Goran Miletic, said on Sept. 9.
"There are some people who are opposed [to the event], some who are a bit more vocal. That is something we had in previous years, too, maybe a little less two or three years ago, but there are no major security threats there that I know of. Police make a security assessment and bring a sufficient number of police officers onto the streets based on that," Miletic told Prva TV.
He reiterated that the organizers insisted on the march scheduled for Sept. 17, that they would march despite a possible ban and that more than 130 announced events would take place.
Miletic said the march had certainly been reported, while the police have 96 hours until the event to issue a potential ban, which in his words is 4 p.m. on Sept. 13.
The EuroPride coordinator added that if there was any kind of security risk, it did not come from the participants in the event, but rather from those who might attack the assembly.
