Substantially reduce corruption and bribery in all their forms
Substantially reduce corruption and bribery in all their forms
Independence of the justice system is one of the key areas by which we can assess contry’s resilience to corruption or successful prevention or combat with corruption. Judging by the data for 2018 on the perceptions of the independence of the justice system it is not surprising that Croatia takes the last position among the EU countries. Recently published Country Report Croatia 2019 (2019 European Semester: Assessment of progress on structural reforms, prevention and correction of macroeconomic imbalances, and results of in-depth reviews under Regulation (EU) No 1176/2011) stated that “Concerns about judicial independence remain“ and that „Corruption is perceived to be widespread“.
Completely contrary to Croatia, Austria marks great perceptions and is among the three best EU countries.
Between 2012 and 2017, slightly more than half of the EU Member States (16 countries) improved their CPI score, both Austria and Croatia among them. However, this indicator also shows that the perceptions are far worse in Croatia than in Austria.
For the last 10 years, we have implemented most of the recommendations of UNGC and GRI. We actively endorse organizations and bodies that promote anti-corruption activities and participate in their anti-corruption initiatives.
