History
The country's first pride parade was held on 9 September 2019 in Sarajevo.[2] An estimated 2,000 people marched in the first pride parade of Bosnia and Herzegovina, making the country the last former Yugoslav nation to hold a pride event.[3]
A second pride parade was supposed to take place on 23 August 2020, starting at 12:00h in Sarajevo,[4] but it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] The second pride parade in Sarajevo therefore took place on 14 August 2021.[6]
Religious groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina condemned the Sarajevo Pride and Muslim Bosnian political and religious groups organized rallies against the Pride.[7][8][9][10]
The third pride parade in Sarajevo was held on June 25, 2022 under the slogan "Family Gathering", with which the organizers pointed out the importance of family support for queer people.[11] About 1,000 citizens joined the procession, and the event itself was accompanied by strong security measures.[12] In addition to the organizers, the Prime Minister of the Sarajevo Canton, Edin Forto, also sent a message from the meeting, saying that this is a protest of citizens for greater rights, referring to political and homophobic comments on social networks.[13]
The most recent 2023 Pride took place on Saturday the 24th June 2023 with a theme was related to allyship and supporter as 'Proud Together'.
