In 2014, the Government had adopted the National Integration Strategy for Individuals Granted International Protection in Bulgaria (2014–2020), which paid special attention to vulnerable persons with specific needs and to unaccompanied minors. Children were provided with legal aid, health care and guaranteed the right to continue their education. With regard to the appointment of guardians or trustees for unaccompanied minors, a draft law which would allow the Agency for Social Assistance to appoint a representative of the child, was forwarded to the consideration of the National Assembly. 17. Concerning the questions regarding hate crime and speech, and intolerance, the delegation stated that its legislation provided for a solid legal framework for combating all cases of hate crime, racism, and xenophobia and the Criminal Code recognized each racial motivation as an aggravating circumstance in criminal offences. Draft amendments to the Code, introducing the criminalization of public incitement to violence or hate on religious grounds were being considered by the National Assembly. 18. There was a substantial improvement in the interaction between the Prosecutor’s Office and the investigating authorities in identifying and reporting discriminatory motives at the earliest possible stage of pretrial proceedings. Although sexual orientation and gender identity were not explicitly defined as aggravating circumstances in the Criminal Code, such elements of the crime had been taken into account during the trial and the judgements of courts. In that respect, training was regularly provided to enhance the qualification of prosecutors. Public awareness measures were carried out to promote tolerance and to address hate speech and incitement to racial or ethnic violence in political discourse and in the media. 19. The National Roma Integration Strategy (2012–2020) was to be implemented in two phases: 2012–2014 and 2014–2020.

The Strategy considered education the first priority of the integration policy. Efforts were increased to strengthen the integration of children of Roma origin into the general education system.

The Ministry of Education and Science, in cooperation with the Regional Education Inspectorates and the municipalities, carried out monitoring of kindergartens and schools to avoid the formation of special classes for children belonging to ethnic groups. 20. Regarding the questions on prison conditions and overcrowding, the delegation stated that two new detention centres had been opened and a project had been implemented to improve the conditions of detention centres and prisons.
