The recent “Global Corruption Barometer” report of Transparency International finds that two-thirds of people in Kosovo rank corruption as one of the biggest problems. The report, which was conducted in 42 countries in Europe and Central Asia, ranks Kosovo as third in terms of public opinion that corruption is one of the biggest problems facing Kosovo. Meanwhile, 67% of respondents believe that the government of Kosovo is not doing a good job in combating corruption.

The fight against corruption in the Western Balkans and Turkey is failing, putting European Union accession at risk, highlights Transparency International in its latest report. Political elites have too much power and there are limited ways to hold the corrupt to account, the report further stated.
