breaking news

Serbian protesters have thrown petrol bombs and stones at people taking part in a Gay Pride parade in Belgrade.

Police used tear gas against the rioters, who tried to break through the armed security cordon protecting the event.

The march is now moving through the Serbian capital.

The first ever Gay Pride parade in Serbia in 2001 was broken up in violent clashes provoked by far-right extremists.
