Croatia’s Foreign Minister Vesna Pusić and several MPs joined the members of the LGBT population in their walk around the city.

The Croatian police are out in force in order to keep the parade participants safe.

The organizers stressed earlier that they wanted to warn that gay people had the right to live their lives the way they wanted to.

They also called on all citizens, regardless of whether they belong to the LGBT community or not, to join the parade and support the LGBT community’s right to equality and dignity.

The organizers said they expected more than 5,000 people at the Saturday parade.

“We want to show that we have the right to public assembly, that our families exist and that they should be regulated by laws,” Marko Jurčić, one of the organizers, pointed out.
