Western Balkan countries are increasing the number of corruption denunciations also through reports from within the public administration.

The European Union has asked the countries of the region to implement with visible results the law on reporting and prevention of corruption, as part of their integration progress.

Inspectors and heads of agencies for the prevention of corruption met in Tirana to share the figures and experiences of each.

Albania has adopted seven years ago the law on whistleblowing and the protection of whistleblowers since 2016, which is hoped to be one of the main tools in the prevention of corruption and in the detection of concrete cases of it.

The administration currently has over 200 central and local reporting units in the public sector and over 500 units in the private sector, which have reported 104 cases in 6 years or an average of 17 cases per year.

"During 2022, the High Inspectorate for Declaration and Control of Assets and Conflict of Interest, as an external mechanism for reporting and requests for protection against retaliation, has registered and administratively investigated a total of 13 cases of reporting as well as two requests for protection against retaliation, which come from the public sector", says Mirela Gega, representative of ILDKPI at today's conference.

In most cases, after administrative investigations, the measures have been fines for officials in conflict of interest as well as dismissal.

The center for the study of democracy and governance estimates that all the countries of the Western Balkans are working to implement the law on whistleblowers and the prevention of corruption with concrete results.

In the case of Albania, says its leader Arjan Dyrmishi, the impact and results of its implementation are still unclear, while no case has yet ended before the justice bodies.

"The contribution of signaling is not significant, to tell the truth. There have been whistleblowers about corruption for years, but we do not know what the impact was, because we have not seen that any administrative case has turned into a prosecution case", says Mr. Dyrmishi.

Kosovo adopted the law for the prevention of corruption 3 years ago, and according to experts, it seems to be doing better than the countries in the region with its implementation, judging by the short time of action.

Drejtuesi i agjencisë për paradalimin e korrupsionit në Kosovë, Yll Buleshkaj, thotë se rezultatet erdhën, megjithë mungesat në kapacitete njerëzore dhe teknike, si dhe vështirësitë në mbrojtjen e sinjalizuesve, nisur nga fakti se shoqëria dhe administrata janë numerikisht të vogla dhe të gjithë njohin të gjithë.

“Në vitin 2020 Kosova shënoi 10 rastet e para, dhe pas vitit të pandemisë i trefishoi raportimet në 39 raste, ndërsa vitin e fundit regjistroi 100 raste”, thotë zoti Buleshkaj.

në Kosovë. Edhe atje ndërtimtaria vlerësohet si sektori me riskun më të lartë për korruptim administrativ, duke nisur nga lejet dhe deri tek shkelja e të drejtave një punonjësve.

Mali i Zi raportoi 188 sinjalizime gjatë vitit 2022, që janë 30 për qind më shumë se sa në vitin 2021.

North Macedonia also recorded 46 cases in 3 years only from external channels and a series of alerts from internal units.

The European Union issued a directive for all member and candidate countries to adopt and implement that law.

For the countries of the Western Balkans, the results of the implementation of this law are seen as proof of the integrity of the public administration and the progress of their integration into the European Union./VOA
