Montenegro
Montenegro has reported information on hate crimes to ODIHR, most recently for the 2022 and 2023 Hate Crime Reports.
Montenegro has implemented ODIHR's Training Against Hate Crimes for Law Enforcement (TAHCLE) and Prosecutors and Hate Crime Training (PAHCT) programmes.
In 2017, Montenegro adopted measures to allow for the effective prosecution of hate crimes following the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Alkovic v. Montenegro (No. 66895/10). In 2023, Montenegro amended legislation to include public acts provoking or inciting racial and religious hatred (Article 370), as well as special circumstances for sentencing hate crimes (Article 42a).
