North Macedonia
North Macedonia regularly reports hate crime data to ODIHR. North Macedonia implemented ODIHR's Training Against Hate Crimes for Law Enforcement (TAHCLE) Programme in 2014, training more than 2,000 police officers under the programme by 2018. Following changes to the hate crime provisions in 2018, a refresher training-of-trainers session for police was conducted by ODIHR in December 2021. North Macedonia implemented ODIHR's Prosecutors and Hate Crime Training (PAHCT) programme in 2019, and in 2022 completed a training on hate crimes for the judiciary together with the OSCE Mission to Skopje.
