A top official from the NiP party, a member of the ruling coalition in Sarajevo Canton, said Friday that the Pride Parade planned for September 8 should not take place because it “may worsen the entire security situation in Sarajevo and wider.”
The Parade was met with strong support from the liberal Nasa Stranka (Our Party, NS), but was also met with opposition by the conservative Bosniak Party for Democratic Action (SDA).
The NiP, which is in the ruling coalition together with Nasa Stranka, now opposes the event.
