AS CHAOS UNFOLDS, FIND SOLID GROUND…The BBC:
A Gay Pride march in Serbia has been called off after police told organisers they could not guarantee its safety.
One of the organisers said Serbia’s prime minister had urged them to switch Sunday’s rally from central Belgrade, but the proposal was “unacceptable”.

Anti-gay groups had threatened violence if the march were allowed to go ahead. “We’re expecting you” posters had been stuck around the Serbian capital.
