description | The existence of corruption is closely related to the existence of the state, which is why the constitution, as the basic legal act of the largest number of states, is particularly significant as measures aimed at preventing corruption can significantly create conditions for the rule of law and the integrity of public bodies. Therefore, this paper addresses corruption in Serbia with a focus on anti-corruption provisions contained in the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia from 2006, comparing them with similar provisions contained in Serbian constitutions, from the Sretenje Constitution (Candlemas Constitution) until the Great War. A brief analysis of the historical context and measures aimed at preventing corruption shows that the social order at that time, as well as the (non)implementation of the constitution in practice, represented a risk factor for corruption in and of itself. However, among the anti-corruption provisions of Serbian constitution, there are some solutions that are more than current even today. |
