The General Police Inspectorate do not yet collect statistical data segregated to look at ethnicity/race/religion of either the victim or the perpetrator and they do not collect data segregated on the relevant articles for racist incidents and crime of the criminal code and other criminal provisions. [1] The General Prosecutor's Office, collects segregated data relevant for instigation to discrimination, hindering the freedom of the cults and the aggravating circumstance of discriminatory ground offences included in the criminal code as well as data on crimes under Government Emergency Ordinance 31/2002 on the ban of organizations and symbols with a fascist, racist or xenophobic character and the promotion of the cult of persons guilty of crimes against peace and humanity.
