Greece
Greece regularly reports hate crime data to ODIHR. In June 2018, an "Agreement on inter-agency co-operation on addressing racist crimes" was concluded by relevant state authorities and a network of civil society organizations (CSOs), and implemented as part of ODIHR's project "Building a Comprehensive Criminal Justice Response to Hate Crimes". By strengthening co-ordination among relevant state agencies and CSOs, the agreement has led to improved hate crime recording and data collection.
