13 July, 17:50
(ANSA) - BELGRADE - Almost 42 per cent of Bulgarian citizens
are not ready to report an episode of corruption if they have
relevant information about it or if they witnessed it
personally, a new survey of the association Transparency without
Borders and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation revealed, the
Bulgaria News Agency BTA reports.
Out of those who would denounce corruption incidents, 45 per cent would submit the alert to the media, 20 per cent to the police and another 30 per cent approximately to prosecutors or other control bodies, BTA noted.
Around 71 per cent of the respondents said that counter-corruption actions should focus on investigating corruption at the highest political level, followed by corruption in the local authorities (63.7 per cent) and in the central administration (58.5 per cent).
The head of Transparency without Borders, Kalin Slavov, analyzed the survey results, noting that there is low readiness among citizens for the submission of corruption alerts and low trust in institutions, BTA added. (ANSA).
