Overview
The Mission advises institutions on how to improve and implement anti-discrimination legislation and policies that promote inter-community relations. It also monitors hate crimes cases and assists the authorities in enhancing the management of hate crimes, for example by empowering the Police Inspectorate of Kosovo, the Ombudsperson, legal professionals and civil society in following up on such cases, in compliance with human rights standards.
In addition, the Mission closely co-operates with the Kosovo Academy of Justice and Kosovo Bar Association to ensure continuous legal education for judges and lawyers on litigating and adjudicating discrimination cases.

Local Kosovo Roma artists empower their community through art
To mark International Roma Day and raise awareness of Romani culture and art, the OSCE Mission supported two Kosovo Roma painters to exhibit their work and offer a basic painting class to children in Gračanica/Graçanicë.
The paintings of siblings Bajram and Farija Mehmeti capture scenes from everyday life and are inspired by the lives and traditions of the Roma community. The exhibition offers a glimpse into the vibrant culture of Kosovo Roma, and aims to fight prejudice and promote tolerance.
