According to the research performed by the non-governmental organisation Transparency International dedicated to fighting corruption, one third of the inhabitants of Europe and Middle Asia consider corruption one of the biggest problems of their countries.
Despite governmental promises about zero tolerance towards corruption, only 7% of Slovenians believe that in the past four years corruption has diminished. The fact that most corruption is being noticed at the fundaments of democratic society is the most alarming; the National Assembly is in the lead, followed by state officials, local authorities, and judges, and the least frequently corruption is noticed in the Police.
Often corruption is not reported for fear of reprisals. The government and the responsible will have to do much more than just pass legislation, first of all implement the adopted legislation in practice, Vid Doria from Transparency International Slovenija explained.
