Multiple reports say documented violence against LGBTQ+ people in Serbia is at its highest level. Rights advocates describe an “epidemic of violence,” citing a rise in attacks against people perceived as LGBTQ+, including harassment and physical assaults. The accounts frame the increase as part of a broader pattern affecting marginalized groups, suggesting that social attitudes and public hostility are intensifying alongside the incidents themselves. The reports emphasize that the figures are based on documented cases and that the trend is worsening compared with previous periods. While the outlets focus on the scale and severity of attacks, they also highlight the wider context in which LGBTQ+ people operate, where stigma and discrimination can leave them more vulnerable. The articles call for increased attention to the safety of LGBTQ+ communities and for stronger responses to curb abuse. No single source attributes the spike to one specific cause, but together they present a consistent picture of escalating harm and concern over public safety for LGBTQ+ residents in Serbia.
