anti-corruption bodies

Building an effective anti-corruption system is one of the key priorities of the modern Ukrainian state and a prerequisite for its sustainable democratic development and successful European integration.

The article is dedicated to the analysis of judicial reform in Croatia and the potential application of its experience to Ukraine in the context of ensuring judicial independence, enhancing the efficiency of justice, and combating corruption. The main stages of the reform of the Croatian judicial system are examined, including the implementation of transparent procedures for the selection of judges, the establishment of an anti-corruption infrastructure, and the adaptation of judicial processes to European standards.

The history of the adoption of anti-corruption legislation regarding the creation of anti-corruption bodies in Ukraine as the main means of combating corruption is considered.
