Abstract

The phenomenon of corruption has existed since the times of antiquity. Modernization of life and developments in all its areas has led to an increase of the levels of corruption. High levels of corruption are more evident in countries with low levels of GPS. The embedding of the principles of justice and the non-acceptance of bribes in these countries seem to be still far away from the standards established by consolidated democratic countries. Corruption has been a wound of Albanian society since the beginning of democracy. The use of public duties for personal enrichment continues to be the Achilles heel in Albania. This has brought to the enrichment of a small stratum of society. The purpose of this article is to explain the importance of the fight against corruption and how to make this fight effective. Proper establishment of institutions is essential in the fight against corruption. For this reason it is necessary to follow the examples of countries that have been successful in the fight against corruption. Only by establishing efficient structures, selecting staff with high integrity and being consistent in this fight the results can be positive. It is up to politics to make the right choices and to give the necessary priority to the fight against corruption
