The Mission works with religious leaders, young people and school officials to promote tolerance, inter-community and inter-faith dialogue and acceptance of diversity in Kosovo.
It advises institutions on how to improve and implement anti-discrimination legislation and policies that promote inter-community relations. The Mission continues to address concerns related to hate crimes by monitoring such cases, by assisting the Kosovo Police and Ministry of Internal Affairs in implementing the inter-agency agreement aimed at enhancing the management of hate crimes, and by empowering the Police Inspectorate of Kosovo, the Ombudsperson and civil society in following-up these cases in compliance with human rights.
