Croatia has severe problems with corruption, and among European Union member states, it is one of the top 3 most corrupt countries. In order to qualify as a member of the European Union, Croatia has taken some measures to combat corruption. The legal and institutional framework as well as government agencies are addressing the issue of corruption in a much larger scale, and the inter-agency cooperation for corruption prevention has also increased, but these efforts are facing the large obstacle of an inefficient and corrupt judicial system. USKOK has prosecuted 2,000 individuals and achieved a 95% conviction rate (2012) (although convictions rarely resulted with prison sentences), including former Prime Minister Ivo Sanader.

  • Croatia has severe problems with corruption, and among European Union member states, it is one of the top 3 most corrupt countries. In order to qualify as a member of the European Union, Croatia has taken some measures to combat corruption. The legal and institutional framework as well as government agencies are addressing the issue of corruption in a much larger scale, and the inter-agency cooperation for corruption prevention has also increased, but these efforts are facing the large obstacle of an inefficient and corrupt judicial system. USKOK has prosecuted 2,000 individuals and achieved a 95% conviction rate (2012) (although convictions rarely resulted with prison sentences), including former Prime Minister Ivo Sanader. Several civil servants in the Croatian Privatization Fund, the Zagreb land registry and the Zagreb taxation headquarters, among others, were arrested on charges of bribery. Moreover, several high-profile corruption cases have come to light, including investigations of a former defense minister and a former deputy prime minister. A 2013 Global Corruption Barometer report by Transparency International showed that 41% of respondents believe that the level of corruption increased in Croatia. Transparency International's 2021 Corruption Perceptions Index scored the country at 47 on a scale from 0 ("highly corrupt") to 100 ("highly clean"). When ranked by score, Croatia ranked 63rd among the 180 countries in the Index, where the country ranked first is perceived to have the most honest public sector. For comparison, the best score was 88 (ranked 1), and the worst score was 11 (ranked 180). (en)
