Сербия
Сербия регулярно предоставляет БДИПЧ данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти. В 2018 году Генеральная прокуратура при поддержке Миссии ОБСЕ в Сербии и БДИПЧ разработала Руководство по уголовному преследованию по делам о преступлениях на почве ненависти в Республике Сербия. Была создана сеть контактных лиц, занимающихся вопросами преступлений на почве ненависти в органах прокуратуры, и при содействии Миссии ОБСЕ Судебная академия разработала и интегрировала план и программу обучения по вопросам преступлений на почве ненависти.

Hate crime against Christians and members of other religions
In Milanović v. Serbia, for the first time the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) referenced the duty of officials to investigate a religiously motivated crime. The Court stated that, just as in the case of “racially motivated attacks, when investigating violent incidents, State authorities have the additional duty to take all reasonable steps to unmask any religious motive and to establish whether or not religious hatred or prejudice may have played a role in the events.” The case concerned a leading member of the Vaishnava Hindu religious community, also known as Hare Krishna, who suffered a series of attacks between 2001 and 2007.
