Хорватия
Хорватия регулярно предоставляет БДИПЧ данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти. С 2006 года в Хорватии проводилась программа БДИПЧ по работе с правоохранительными органами (LEOP), за которой последовала обновленная программа «Обучение сотрудников правоохранительных органов мерам борьбы с преступлениями на почве ненависти» (ОБПН). В 2021 году правительство приняло межведомственный "Протокол о мониторинге преступлений на почве ненависти", устанавливающий обязанности государственных органов в борьбе с преступлениями на почве ненависти и воссоздающий специальную Рабочую Группу. В 2021 году Рабочая группа приняла участие в диагностическом семинаре БДИПЧ по оценке национальных структур и сервисов поддержки жертв преступлений на почве ненависти, по итогам которого БДИПЧ подготовило ряд рекомендаций для соответствующих государственных органов. Данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти регулярно публикуются Управлением по правам человека и правам национальных меньшинств при правительстве.

KEY OBSERVATION
ODIHR recognizes Croatia's efforts to improve hate crime recording and data collection, and welcomes the recently updated inter-agency Protocol for Procedure in Cases of Hate Crimes. However, based on the available information, it observes that Croatia's hate crime recording and statistics do not sufficiently distinguish hate crimes from other crimes. In addition, ODIHR observes that Croatia would benefit from raising awareness among and building the capacity of criminal justice officials to address hate crime.
ODIHR recalls that in Ministerial Council Decision 9/09, participating States agreed to a common hate crime definition and committed to collecting reliable data and statistics on hate crimes. To that end, throughout the recording and data collection process hate crimes must be distinguished from incitement to hatred offences and other crimes falling outside of the OSCE's hate crime definition. In the same Ministerial Council Decision, participating States also committed to introducing or further developing professional training and capacity-building activities for law enforcement, prosecution, and judicial officials dealing with hate crimes. ODIHR stands ready to support Croatia in meeting its relevant commitments through the provision of comprehensive resources and tailored assistance in the area of hate crime recording and data collection, as well as further providing resources and tailored capacity building assistance for police, prosecution, and judiciary.
