A new report shows that racism and hate speech are rising rapidly in Croatia and the government is not doing enough to tackle the problem, the Euro News website reports today (May 15, 2018).
Serbs, Roma, and the LGBT community are the main targets, according to the Council of Europe.
Official data submitted by Croatian authorities indicates there were 35 hate speech incidents in 2016, up from 24 a year earlier.
But figures supplied by the Serb National Council claims 331 cases of ethnically-motivated violence, threats, and hate speech were directed at Serbs in 2016, compared with 189 one year before.
