Watchdog organisation Transparency
International has ranked Bosnia 72nd out of 176 countries in its annual index
of corruption perception, which means the country is still far behind its
neighbours and is one of the most corrupt countries in Europe.
Srdjan Blagovcanin, executive
director of Transparency International in BOSNIA, said that solving problems
related to corruption will lead the country out of its economic and political
crisis, but lamented that politicians are not willing to tackle these
issues.“The corruption problem is affecting the political agenda in this
country,” he said. “But corrupted political elites are systematically
obstructing the implementation of reforms because they aim to protect
themselves.” Blagovcanin made his remarks at a conference on corruption held in
Sarajevo following the release of the rankings.

CORRUPTED POLITICAL ELITES OF BIH SYSTEMATICALLY OBSTRUCTING
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF REFORMS BECAUSE THEY AIM TO PROTECT THEMSELVES
At the conference, officials from
Transparency presented a study on corruption in BOSNIA and HERZEGOVINA, The
National Integrity Study, which is based on the analysis of institutions
involved in the fight against corruption. Blagovcanin said that CROATIA'S fight
against corruption, in particular the conviction of former Prime Minister Ivo
Sanader on charges of corruption, is a close-to-home example that shows BOSNIAN
politicians what the rule of law looks like.
“I am sure that it has to happen in BOSNIA
too, sooner or later,” Blagovcanin said.

LACK OF WILL TO FIGHT CORRUPTION
“The good news is that the fight
against corruption has been set by the EU as a priority prior to accession to
the bloc, but the bad news is that we have not yet had the political will to
fight this problem.”Renzo Daviddi, deputy head of the EU delegation in
Sarajevo, said there has to be more force behind the fight against corruption
in the country.
“We need a clear and strong
political commitment on the part of political leaders,” Daviddi said, adding
that civil society must also be involved more actively in the fight against
corruption.The study conducted by Transparency International found that BOSNIA'S
system of national integrity is based on very weak institutions.
The key conclusion of the study is
that there is a gap between corruption laws and their implementation in all
segments of the country's institutions, which contributes to the failure of
some anti-corruption measures. The study also described executive governments
on all levels in BOSNIA as inefficient, nontransparent and irresponsible,
adding that they lack coordination.
