Sweden’s Ikea raised the rainbow flag in front of its Belgrade store in a show of solidarity with the LGBTQ community in Serbia, and is publicly supporting a draft law to recognize same-sex partnerships.
The furniture giant has been openly backing the Serbian proposal since March 10 this year, when Sara Del Fabbro, chief executive officer of Ikea South East Europe, took part in the first formal public discussion on the draft law organized by the ministry of human, minority rights and social dialogue. Ikea said it remains the only company in Serbia to have publicly done so.
