Abstract

This paper presents a survey of LGBT attitudes towards the security sector in
Serbia. During the five focus groups with LGBT persons, we determined the
basic characteristics of police attitudes towards sexual minorities. By
examining the relationship between the police and the sexual minorities, the
author attempts to determine the institutional practice towards
homosexuality. The study also notes the differences between respondents based
on their status and the size of their place of residence. This paper looks at
events such as the Pride Parade, which lead to the appearance of anti-gay
factions and political conflicts.
