Croatia
Croatia regularly reports hate crime data to ODIHR.
Since 2006, Croatia has implemented ODIHR's Law Enforcement Outreach Programme (LEOP) followed by the updated Training Against Hate Crime for Law Enforcement (TAHCLE) programme.
In 2021, the government adopted an updated inter-agency "Protocol for Procedure in Cases of Hate Crime", establishing state authorities' responsibilities in addressing hate crime and revised the responsibilities of the dedicated Working Group for monitoring hate crimes. In 2021, the Working Group participated in ODIHR's diagnostic workshop to assess national structures and services for hate crime victim support, resulting in a set of ODIHR recommendations to the relevant state authorities. Data on hate crimes are regularly published by the Office for Human Rights and the Rights of National Minorities (OHRRNM).

About 2019 Data
-
The data recorded by the police may include criminal offences of incitement to hatred, which fall outside the OSCE definition of hate crime. The reported prosecution figures consist of cases in which an indictment was filed and include cases initiated during the previous years.
Hate crime recorded by police
The police numbers represent the number of recorded offences. One incident can involve more than one offence.
KEY OBSERVATION
ODIHR observes that Croatia has not made public hate crime data disaggregated by bias motivation.
