19.50 An unexpected crowd at the first Gay Pride in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 2,000, many more than expected, took to the streets in Sarajevo. A peaceful procession, the first pro-homosexual rights in the history of the multi-ethnic country, where Muslims, Serbs and Croats live together. Maximum alert due to opposition from homophobic groups: 1,250 policemen, including snipers on different buildings. The parade on via Tito to the Parliament. At the head of the procession: a large banner with the slogan 'We must get out of the closet!', Addressed to undeclared gays.
