Abstract
This paper analyzes the problem of corruption as a phenomenon, a negative and illegal social phenomenon, which is contrary to the rules of normal functioning of the society. It implies to very serious consequences which can produce a real threat and the possibility of adopting corruption as a negative model of life and activity, that is, the functioning of the society, personified in several corrupt individuals and groups. The state continuously applies anti-corruption mechanisms. However, a phenomenon that is difficult to eradicate is the multitude of individual cases of offering, giving, or soliciting bribes in certain everyday life circumstances. We are worried about the researches indicating that a large number of the state institutions are exposed to corruption, including the officials employed in these institutions using corrupt actions during the performance of their regular work. The basic question that arises is whether a certain number of citizens who do not accept corruption over time become "antisocial" in relation to the individuals representing a part of the society which accepts it as an adopted model, or a way of living and normal functioning being contrary to law and the commitment of the state in the fight against corruption. The aim of the research is how to prevent the adoption of the corruption model as a "value", by reporting it to the competent authorities in Republic of Serbia, including the fight against corruption through the so-called "Romanian model", proved to be very effective in fighting corruption.
Highlights
Introduction to the phenomenon of corruptionThe reason for researching the phenomenon of corruption is reflected primarily in the need to scientifically investigate this phenomenon as an obvious psychological problem of many individuals who consider and accept corruption as a reality, a “value” and the only correct way of societal function, which is a very significant problem for our state, and moral and material values of society
This research aims to define the concept and problems of corruption, pointing to all available manifestations and the “red tape”, in the adoption of corruption as a “value” in society, whilst directing the competent state institutions to eliminate corruption as one of the state priorities through the timely intervention of the state and authorized state bodies to prevent all types of corrupt activities
Individual cases of lack of political will to fight corruption, non-transparency of functioning and financing of political parties in some cases, the constitution of informal centers of power, and connection of individuals from the ranks of politicians with organized crime are mostly basic characteristics of political corruption. When it comes to economic forms of corruption, the causes are mainly the transitions of developed and underdeveloped countries, poverty and unemployment as one of the basic characteristics of modern society and activity, which greatly affect the development of corruption
Summary
The reason for researching the phenomenon of corruption is reflected primarily in the need to scientifically investigate this phenomenon as an obvious psychological problem of many individuals who consider and accept corruption as a reality, a “value” and the only correct way of societal function, which is a very significant problem for our state, and moral and material values of society. The state has and uses very serious resources in the fight against corruption, which is commendable, but a certain number of citizens believe and persist in their intention to adopt corruption as a “value” in society or impose it as a normal phenomenon, which, according to their understanding, would become a part of the daily functioning of each individual in the social environment Such a primarily destructive way and approach is contrary to legal and moral norms for a very large number of citizens, who do not accept corruption and seriously advocate for its elimination with the help of the state, by reporting corruption to the competent state authorities with absolutely correct expectations that the state will act promptly and will sanction all forms of corruption in society. This research aims to define the concept and problems of corruption, pointing to all available manifestations and the “red tape”, in the adoption of corruption as a “value” in society, whilst directing the competent state institutions to eliminate corruption as one of the state priorities through the timely intervention of the state and authorized state bodies to prevent all types of corrupt activities
