Participants included LGBTI activists, the Minister of Human and Minority rights, the Mayor of Podgorica, and representatives of civil society and the international community. Charge D ’Affaires Aliu addressed participants saying that the LGBTI community in Montenegro can count on continued US Government support because LGBTI rights are human rights.
