Prosecutorial Practice on Hate Speech in SloveniaKogovšek Šalamon, Neža (Avtor) Hrvatič, Sergeja (Avtor) hate speechincitement to hatredcriminal prosecutionprotected groupsPenal Codecriminal lawSloveniaThis article aims to determine how public prosecution deals with criminal reports concerning Article 297 of the Slovenian Penal Code on hate speech and explores the influence of the 2019 Slovenian Supreme Court judgment on this practice. The analysis is based on 98 closed case files of the prosecution from 2019 to 2023. The main findings indicate that the number of indictments and convictions remains low; criminal prosecution of cases is inconsistent; there are regional differences in prosecutorial practice; the impact of the 2019 decision is low; and the quality of documents produced by the prosecutor’s offices is deficient.20252026-06-18 11:26:00Delo ni kategorizirano30285UDK: 009, 342.727(497.4)ISSN pri članku: 1408-5348DOI: 10.19233/ASHS.2025.32COBISS_ID: 264077827slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji.
