Hate-motivated incidents are often violent manifestations of intolerance, which instill fear and divide communities. Tackling underlying prejudice is essential in combating the spread of these divisive actions.

The 'Hate Monitor' provides a monthly update on incidents and responses throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.
