DISINFO: EU is imposing paedophilia on Serbia

SUMMARY

Paedophilia is a natural sexual orientation, just like heterosexuality, and we should treat paedophiles with the same respect as other people. This scandalous statement was made during the TEDx Talk conference at the German University of Wuerzburg. Fighters against paedophilia in Serbia warn that this is just the beginning of the campaign since “modern” Europe is planning to introduce such perverted attitudes in the Balkans.
