description In this paper, the author tried to present the project of combating corruption in Serbia, starting from the theoretical definition and classification of this social phenomenon. Arguments are also provided proving that, in addition to good strategy and legal solutions, the effects in the fight against corruption also requires the establishment of a social climate in which zero tolerance for corruption will develop. The difficulty, on a global scale, is the fact that neoliberal capitalism encourages illegal activity, legitimizing it by the general rules of the free market. Bearing in mind that the provisions of the Law on the Anti-Corruption Agency also point to the prevention of corruption, the author has tried to answer the question to what extent the prevention designed here can prevent corruption, especially when it comes to those aspects that citizens in everyday life deal with most commonly encountered. The conclusion of this paper is that apart from suppressing corruption mechanisms, one should also take into account the general social situation that generates corruption - namely poverty and social insecurity, that is, suppression of corruption entails a much wider set of measures than anti-corruption laws.
