Tolerance and Non-discrimination participating States that have demonstrated interest in the programme. After the needs assessment in Poland in 2006, the programme will be adapted and translated into Polish, and implemented in the course of 2007. In Serbia, the ODIHR plans to continue its evaluation, followed by the adaptation of the programme to the needs of Serbian law enforcement officers. Following the training-of-trainers seminar in Paris, several OSCE participating States expressed interest either in the assessment of their law enforcement officers’ needs in raising awareness regarding various aspects of hate crimes or in the full implementation of the programme in their respective countries. The ODIHR’s expert team will continue to maintain its informal information network for police officers and will provide training and assistance accordingly. 6. Freedom of religion or belief In addition to continuing to provide expert opinions and assistance to governments and civil society, the Advisory Panel of Experts on Freedom of Religion or Belief will also develop guidelines on teaching about religion in state schools in the OSCE region. The guidelines will offer practical guidance for preparing curricula for teaching about religion, preferred procedures for assuring fairness in the structuring of curricula, and standards for the implementation of such procedures. The guidelines will be finalized by the end of 2007. 7. Developing the Tolerance and NonDiscrimination Information System to support particular user groups To support the Law Enforcement Officer Programme on Combating Hate Crime, special sections of the website will be developed with information of particular relevance for prosecutors and investigating magistrates, and for hate crime data experts. The website will also be made available in Russian in 2007. Annual Report  73
