A Gay Guide to Belgrade
Serbia is not a 100% liberal nation. It is extremely traditional, and if we are totally sincere, there might be some complexities regarding gay acceptance.

Serbia is a traditional country and quite conservative when it comes to Diverse. Basically, it has a ‘don’t request – don’t tell’ mentality.
