The level of corruption in Kosovo has continued to rise, said Kosovo think tank Fol based on the results of a poll it recently conducted. The most serious problem for the respondents is unemployment, followed by corruption and government’s performance, the poll further found. 42.2% of the people interviewed said they often bribe public officials in exchange for a service. Kosovo prosecutor, Drita Hajdari, said involvement of judges and prosecutors in corruption is highly concerning and appealed to the civil society and media to help fight it. Meanwhile, the British Ambassador to Kosovo, Ruairi O’Connell, said Kosovo has not yet demonstrated concrete results in the fight against corruption. He also said the level of corruption in Kosovo is “shameful” and “unacceptable.” “Fight against corruption should start within the institutions. Involvement of officials in scandals and their impunity is intolerable,” said O’Connell.
