A survey by the World Bank Group on the experiences of LGBTI people in southeast Europe was published this month, with the lowest perceived acceptance of the LGBTI community recorded in Kosovo.
In the largest survey of members of the LGBTI community carried out in the region, with more than two thousand participants across southeastern Europe, the World Bank Group highlighted that social exclusion and lack of visibility harms the acceptance of the LGBTI community in public life.
“The collective experiences of LGBTI people in the countries surveyed paint a distressing picture of the harmful effects of discrimination, harassment, exclusion, and violence,” the survey reads.
The results show that 92 per cent of people interviewed across the region perceive discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation as fairly or very common.
