Abstract

In the 2013 Progress Report on Republic of Macedonia, in which the European
Commission presents its assessment of what the country has achieved over the last year, it
was stressed that the corruption in the Republic of Macedonia remains prevalent in many
areas and continues to be a serious problem, indicating that the implementation of existing
legislation has yet to make a concrete impact and the effectiveness of existing measures
has to be improved. This comment was followed with a note that the country needs to
demonstrate tangible results in the reduction and deterrence of corruption in practice.
One year later, European Commission indicated that claims of selective enforcement and
political influence in this area persist, and a more proactive stance is needed to eliminate
these serious concerns. Also, the public trust in anti-corruption bodies remains low.
Having in mind the above remarks, as well as the determination of the Republic of
Macedonia to become an EU member, the Faculty of Security – Skopje established a Research
team which goal was to organize a field Survey concerning the opinion (assessment) of the
Macedonian citizens about the corruption. The aim of the survey was to give a scientific
description of the citizens’ opinion about the characteristics and consequences of the
corruption, and also about the corrupt activities in the country.
Despite the fact that the Survey was systematized in several chapters, the paper shall
give a special attention to Chapter V “Preparedness and determination to fight against
corruption” and Chapter VI “Development of the system to fight against corruption”.
Although the Survey was conducted in 2013, 2014 and 2015, the paper shall present and
analyze the collected data in 2013 and 2014, since the data collected in 2015 are still being
processed.
