<\/a>\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\n\r\n\u201cNo activist or reporter should have to fear for their lives when speaking out against corruption,\u201d said Patricia Moreira, managing director of Transparency International. \u201cGiven current crackdowns on both civil society and the media worldwide, we need to do more to protect those who speak up.\u201d\r\n\r\nUkraine\u2019s lowly position in the Index is down to \u201ca\u00a0lack of political will\u00a0on the part of the country\u2019s government for a resolute fight against corruption,\u201d says Anastasiya Kozlovtseva, head of international relations at Transparency International Ukraine. \u201cThere is also\u00a0a low level of trust for the Ukrainian courts, while regular legislative initiatives put forward by parliament which threaten the newly created anti-corruption infrastructure cannot be overlooked. As a result,\u00a0corruption remains among the most acute problems faced by business and regular citizens.\u201d\r\n\r\nGlobally, New Zealand remains the least corrupt country, while Somalia is the most corrupt.","post_title":"Transparency International: Estonia is Emerging Europe\u2019s Least Corrupt Country","post_excerpt":"One of the biggest concerns highlighted in the report is the way that non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are being targeted.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"transparency-international-estonia-is-emerging-europes-least-corrupt-country","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-02-02 08:39:41","post_modified_gmt":"2025-02-02 08:39:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dctransparency.com\/?p=2432","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"157","filter":"raw"},{"ID":2426,"post_author":"7","post_date":"2018-07-21 09:21:26","post_date_gmt":"2018-07-21 09:21:26","post_content":"Transparency International (TI) has condemned the Montenegrin parliament\u2019s decision to dismiss Vanja \u0106alovi\u0107 Markovi\u0107, the executive director of MANS, TI\u2019s Montenegrin partner, from the Council of the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption. TI says the decision was intended as retribution against Ms Markovi\u0107 for her NGO\u2019s exposes concerning President Milo \u0110ukanovi\u0107 and his family, and for her uncompromising fight against corruption. TI also condemned the fact that the parliamentary vote took place even though the country\u2019s high court has not reached a verdict on Ms \u0106alovi\u0107 Markovi\u0107\u2019s case.\r\n\r\n\u201cAllegations of conflict of interest against Ms \u0106alovi\u0107 Markovi\u0107 are being disputed\u00a0in a national court, with the case scheduled for July 17. Ms \u0106alovi\u0107 Markovi\u0107 has not been given an opportunity to respond to the allegations made against her, contrary to the European Convention on Human Rights,\u201d said TI in a statement.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, parliament also voted to dismiss Dr Irena Radovi\u0107 from the post of deputy central bank governor. According to Dr Radovi\u0107, her dismissal was a consequence of her decision not to support the policy of the governor Dr Radoje \u017dugi\u0107, who is among President \u0110ukanovi\u0107\u2019s most loyal party members. Dr \u017dugi\u0107 allegedly ordered Dr Radovi\u0107 to impose tougher controls over some banks while leaving others to operate without any supervision.\r\n\r\nGovernor \u017dugi\u0107 claims Dr Radovi\u0107\u2019s dismissal was a result of her incompetence and lack of professionalism.\r\n\r\nIn April 2018, the European Commission published a report on Montenegro which highlights challenges around conflict of interest cases, particularly those concerning members of civil society organisations and media, including the public broadcaster, RTCG, and the Council of the Agency for Electronic Media.\r\n\r\n\u201cDespite some progress, corruption is prevalent in many areas and remains an issue of concern. The operational capacity of institutions has improved; however, all institutions should demonstrate a more proactive attitude. Challenges to the credibility, independence and priority-setting of the Anti-Corruption Agency need to be addressed. Financial investigations and seizure and confiscation of assets remain to be improved. An initial track record of investigation, prosecution and final convictions in high-level corruption cases has been established, but needs to be further consolidated. Further improvements of the track record of successful investigations and convictions will only be possible in an environment where independent institutions are shielded from any undue influence and incentivised to fully use their powers,\u201d stated the Commission.\r\n\r\n\u2014\r\n\r\nPhoto: MANS<\/em>","post_title":"Transparency International Condemns Montenegrin Parliament\u2019s Dismissal of Anti-Corruption Campaigner","post_excerpt":"In April 2018, the European Commission published a report on Montenegro which highlights challenges around conflict of interest cases, particularly those concerning members of civil society organisations and media, including the public broadcaster, RTCG, and the Council of the Agency for Electronic Media.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"transparency-international-condemns-montenegrin-parliaments-dismissal-of-anti-corruption-campaigner","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-02-02 08:39:41","post_modified_gmt":"2025-02-02 08:39:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dctransparency.com\/?p=2426","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"151","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":20},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};
