Participants and riot police stand in front of the Serbian Parliament building in Belgrade September 27, 2013. Serbia's government banned a weekend gay pride march for the third consecutive year on Friday, citing the threat of violence from right-wing hooligans, in a move that sparked protests by gay activists and criticism from the European Union. Around 200 gay activists waving rainbow flags and banners that read "This is Pride" gathered outside Prime Minister Ivica Dacic's government office before walking to parliament flanked by riot police.
