By Mimoun from Long Island City, NY Posted Jun 11, 2015 that the event had been cancelled as a reuslt of high security risks and a lack of co-operation from the police that meant they had no choice but to call off the event.Just yesterday, Serbian President Boris Tadic warned against creating an "atmosphere of chaos'" and "threats and violence". He said: "The state will do everything to protect people, whatever their national, religious, sexual or political orientation, and no group must resort to threats and violence, or take justice into its own hands and jeopardize the lives of those who think or are different."In a statement, the organisers of the event said a "full security study was commissioned more than three months ago by pride organisers and executed by the university defence department constructing a detailed strategy for all logistical possibilities to carry out pride safely with full instructions for how police would secure pride participants entrance to the parade, their safety during the event and their ability to leave the event unmolested.They added that the "study also made detailed recommendations for preventative measures that could be taken by police in the months leading up to pride to minimise the risk of violence." But they claim that the "police did not undertake these measures and despite months of meetings with pride organisers and daily meetings in the past two weeks have failed to act on security measures, instead choosing thetactic of pressurising organisers to cancel the event."
