Foreign
Minister Uri Rosenthal says he regrets that the Gay Pride parade in Kiev was
cancelled because of security concerns.
 |
“The threat
posed by anti-gay protesters fits in with a political climate which has Ukraine
drafting legislation that is seen as potentially discriminatory against gays.”
The
Netherlands will address the issue at the end of this month during the
EU-Ukraine talks on the constitutional state.
“The Ukrainian
authorities must provide clarity about the measures being taken to safeguard
gay rights, including the right to protest,” Mr Rosenthal said.
The
minister is currently in Chicago for a two-day NATO summit.
