Tolerance and non-discrimination

The Mission supports Serbia’s anti-discrimination institutions, primarily the Office of the Commissioner for Protection of Equality, and works with the authorities and civil society to help implement the legal framework in support of equality for all. It carries out training programmes for judges and public prosecutors, and helps the Office for Human and Minority Rights implement Serbia’s anti-discrimination strategy. It also supports “legal clinics” at law faculties, where victims of discrimination can obtain free legal aid, and works with state institutions and non-governmental organizations that monitor and report on hate crimes.
