About 2013 Data

    The year-to-year decrease in the number of reported cases is caused by improved separation of hate crimes from other criminal forms of intolerance (reported as "offences with an extremist context").
    The reported number of prosecuted hate crimes does not include further 93 charges filed for less serious extremist crimes (both hate crimes and hate speech cases) in summary proceedings.

National developments

The new Act on Victims of Crime, which implements the EU Victims Directive, was enacted and entered into effect on 1 August 2013. The Act includes provisions for special treatment of hate crime victims, who are now entitled to receive support from registered providers, have a right to protection from secondary harm and a right to financial compensation and support. Selected police trainers were trained on the implementation of the new law, with training cascaded to all police officers prior to the Act’s entry into effect. Judges and prosecutors were also trained.
