Hundreds marched on June 22 through the center of Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina, in the fifth Pride parade in the country's history. Bosnian public personalities and LGBT rights supporters from other countries also joined. No political or national symbols were allowed at the rally, except Palestinian flags. Bosnia is a multicultural country, but conservative views prevail on gay rights. "Love is innate. Hate is acquired. People learn it in the family and society," one march participant told RFE/RL.
