Eastern Europe and Central Asia

(20 countries involved)

Albania marks of 3.2 points in the annual Corruption Perception Index for 2009, from 3.4 that was in 2008, with six sources of data with standard deviation 0.3 (minimum 2.8 and maximum 3.6).

In Euro-Asia area, Albania ranks eighth among 20 countries, while in South Eastern Europe region, leaving behind Bosnia - Herzegovina. First place in the region has Turkey with 4.4 points followed by Croatia 4.1.

Anti-corruption battle remains a challenge for the government, parliament, judiciary, law enforcement agencies, independent media and civil society- on the path of European Union integration. Implementation of anti-corruption strategy by the government, reforming the judiciary and the way out of legal impunity apathy of corruption cases are serious challenge for policy and judicial power in the country. Financial transparency of political parties remains a serious problem particularly for the functioning of democracy in Albania. Issues where it is assumed corruption are a challenge to judicial independence and professionalism
