As a part of dedicated police training program, 23 police officers improved their knowledge and skills in documenting, analysing and qualifying hate speech cases in line with European standards and with the Council of Europe recommendations. Ultimate aim of this activities is to address the widespread occurrence of hate speech, and to ensure a prompt and professional intervention of competent investigative agents for combating hate speech incidents and its harmful impact on Moldovan society.
