The SOCTA report was drafted and adopted as part of the ExB project “Enhancing Capacities for Strategic Analysis and Strategic Assessments in the Criminal Investigation Directorates of the Serbian, Montenegrin and HC Ministries of Interior”. This activity was conducted with substantial Mission to Skopje support.
This report is the first assessment of threats from serious and organized crime made in Macedonia, supported by the OSCE, the Government of Switzerland, DCAF and Europol.
This brochure intends to make a distinction between freedom of expression and hate speech, both from a terminology and a legal point of view, as well as to differentiate them from other related concepts, such as defamation and insult.
The regional threat assessment was made as part of a regional project aimed at enhancing capacities for strategic analysis and strategic assessments in the Serbian, Montenegrin and Macedonian Ministries of the Interior and was implemented by the OSCE Mission to Serbia.
