Os deputados do parlamento incitaram a Turquia “to ensure that equality, regardless of sex [...] or sexual orientation, is guaranteed by the law and effectively enforced”.

Michael Cashman MEP, Co-Presidente do LGBT Intergroup, comentou: “I welcome the progress that’s been made generally in Turkey—a modern, secular state. But I urge the Turkish government to reinsert sexual orientation and gender identity into the draft anti-discrimination law; this will send yet another signal of Turkey’s determination to complete the accession process.”

Em Montenegro contudo, “discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity widely persists, including on the part of state authorities”.

Ulrike Lunacek MEP, Co-Presidente do LGBT Intergroup, reagiu: “Montenegro has achieved much. The Montenegrin Constitution prohibits direct or indirect discrimination on any ground, although it still falls short of EU standards as it permits direct discrimination in some cases. Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian people, persons with disabilities as well as LGBT people still fall victims of severe discrimination, and gender equality has yet to be

secured.”
