Corruption – According to the report regarding transition from year 2005,
there has been a decrease in the level of corruption regarding Macedonia over the
last few years. Corruption is being observed from the aspect of the three forms it
appears in i.e.: bribe, additional payments and frequent cases of corruption. Viewed
retrospectively since year 2002 we have the following results when talking the
previously mentioned forms of corruption:
• Bribe: 0.79 (2002) and 0.62 (2005);
• Additional payments: 2.91 (2002) and 1.83 (2005);
• Frequent cases of corruption: 22.7 (2002) and 25.28(2005).
According to Transparency International’s 2005 Corruption Perceptions
Index, Macedonia holds the 103 rd place out of 155 countries, the result of which is
2.3 on a ranking scale of 10, where 10 means pretty clean, and 0 means pretty
corrupted country. 30 These figures are sure evidence that the condition is alarming
and it requires that organized efforts are undertaken in order to decrease the level
of corruption, as well as to reform all the inefficient institutions that represent an
obstacle for providing sustainable rates of economic development. Because of this,
the Ministry of Finance of Macedonia in its Macroeconomic policy for 2007,
determined a few structural reforms that should influence in direction of improving
both climate for making investments and business environment, all this for the
purpose of accelerating economic development and getting closer to EU in the near
future. Some of the measures are presented in the text that follows:
• Reforms of the judicial system – Reforms in the process of selecting,
appointing and promoting judges and prosecutors; passing the rest of the
30 remaining sub-legal acts regulated by the Court Law; changing and
amending the Law for Criminal Proceedings; decreasing the delay of courts
in their operation and enhancing the execution of court decisions; enhanced
supervision of the operations of both the notaries and executors etc.
