About 2022 Data

    Figures presented here exclusively refer to offences under Article 297 of the Slovenian Criminal Code (Public incitement to hatred, violence or intolerance) and may include hate speech offences, which fall outside of the OSCE's definition of hate crime.

    Police records were not provided.

Hate crime recorded by police

National developments

In 2022, amendments to the Criminal Code continued and resulted in a new paragraph making it obligatory to consider a bias motivation as an aggravating circumstance (Art. 49 of the Criminal Code). The amendment was introduced in early 2023.

The Slovenian government began developing a National Strategy on Combating Antisemitism and Fostering Jewish Life. The draft strategy foresees special training sessions and awareness-raising events.  

In February 2022, a cross-governmental working meeting on hate crimes was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Justice, the police, and the Supreme State Prosecutor's Office.

KEY OBSERVATION

ODIHR recognizes Slovenia's efforts to introduce an aggravating circumstance provision to its legal framework to ensure that bias motivations are effectively acknowledged and appropriate penalties can be imposed on the perpetrators. However, based on the available information, Slovenia has not reported data on hate crimes recorded by police to ODIHR. In addition, ODIHR observes that Slovenia would benefit from raising awareness among and building the capacity of criminal justice officials to address hate crime, including on the application of the new hate crime provision.

ODIHR recalls that in Ministerial Council Decision 9/09, OSCE participating States committed to collecting reliable data and statistics in sufficient detail on hate crimes and to report such periodically to ODIHR. Participating States also committed to introduce or further develop professional training and capacity-building activities for law enforcement, prosecution and judicial officials dealing with hate crimes.

ODIHR stands ready to support Slovenia 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 through its resources and tailored capacity-building assistance for police, prosecution, and judiciary.
