Montenegro
Montenegro has reported information on hate crimes to ODIHR. Montenegro's Criminal Code contains a general penalty enhancement and a substantive offence provision. Hate crime data are collected by the Montenegrin Prosecutor's Office and the Supreme Court. Data on hate crime are not made publicly available.
How hate crime data is collected
The Police do not have any special reporting or data collection procedures for recording hate crimes.
In judicial statistics, hate crimes are included on the basis of an underlying base offence, without distinguishing the bias motive. The Judicial Council is responsible for ensuring the use, functionality and uniformity of the Judicial Information System (PRIS). The system is used by all courts to monitor cases, for some aspects of case management and to communicate with the parties. PRIS also collects comprehensive statistics that are included in annual court reports.
