Lecture to Future Police Officers on Symbols of Hate

On December 6th, a lecture on symbols of hate was held by Mirko Ilić for 48 new police recruits in the Training Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Skopje, North Macedonia.

Mirko Ilic was invited to come to the Center by invitation of the Assistant Minister of the Training Center, Mr. Vlatko Mitkovski. During the lecture, Ilić spoke about the importance of recognizing and understanding the meaning of the symbols of hate used by neo-Nazis, racists, and various hate groups, which bombard society daily through the Internet, street graffiti, and different sports fan groups. He explained how police officers, as part of their professional work, must learn to recognize these symbols and do everything in their power to stop the spread of these messages of hate and bring positive changes to the community.

It is hoped that the lecture had been beneficial and provided the attendees with valuable knowledge and new perspectives on the topic. 

The event was organized by Vidi Vaka.
